Install & Config

Hi Community,

I have the following issue on my Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS installation while updating to the latest jitsi-meet release.

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  ca-certificates-java coturn fonts-lato java-common javascript-common jicofo jitsi-meet-prosody jitsi-meet-turnserver jitsi-meet-web jitsi-meet-web-config jitsi-videobridge2 jq libevent-core-2.1-7 libevent-extra-2.1-7

  prosody rake ruby ruby-hocon ruby-minitest ruby-net-telnet ruby-power-assert ruby-test-unit ruby-xmlrpc ruby2.7 rubygems-integration sqlite3 unzip zip
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  jitsi-meet
The following packages will be upgraded:
  jicofo jitsi-meet-turnserver jitsi-meet-web jitsi-meet-web-config jitsi-videobridge2
5 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/74.4 MB of archives.
After this operation, 1244 kB disk space will be freed.

As you can see it looks like jitsi-meet package is getting removed and due to that all the required dependencies are not needed any more.

Is there are problem with the release or I’m doing something wrong here.

Best regards
Christoph

Same here Debian 11 … all jitsi files are deleted

Also Ubuntu 20 Server:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
jitsi-meet : Depends: jitsi-meet-prosody (= 1.0.6776-1) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: jitsi-meet-turnserver (= 1.0.6776-1) but it is not going to be installed

Which prosody version do you have?

5

None, installation quits (I started testing with a fresh installed server).

apt update -y &&
apt install apt-transport-https -y &&
apt update -y &&
curl https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-key.gpg.key | sh -c 'gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg' &&
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg] https://download.jitsi.org stable/' |  tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list > /dev/null &&
apt update -y &&
apt install jitsi-meet -y

On running servers it is Prosody 0.11.4

6

Debian 11 Bullseye shouldn’t be affected because there is a supported version of prosody in its official repo.

7

Prosody should be newer than 0.11.7

apt show jitsi-meet-prosody
...
Depends: openssl, prosody (>= 0.11.7)...
8

Add the prosody repo as described in the quick install guide.

Thank you this is solving the issue.

About the packages kept back. it’s safe to force the installation?
The installed Prosody version is 0.11.4-1 and the output of apt-mark showhold is empty.

@raffaelone
I was upgrading to Ubuntu 22 LTs as I was not able to find the lua-unbound package.

So I did disable prosody and jitis repo. Did the upgrade to LTS 22.
Updated the prosody to 0.12.
After that I have updated Jitsi without issues.

Did you run “apt-get upgrade” or “apt-get dist-upgrade”?

17

I think this is because coturn is missing in 22.04 …

18

Although I see it in some jammy-updates repo
