you can try to reinstall the package

To be on save side, do a backup beforehand.

ok will try

Or easier, just do apt upgrade jellyfin
It is held back because it removes jellyfin-ffmpeg6 and installs jellyfin-ffmpeg7.

root@DietPi:~# upgrade jellyfin
-bash: upgrade: command not found

that command did not work

but apt install --reinstall jellyfin worked like a charm and ffmpeg7 was installed and ffmpeg6 removed.

You forgot to write apt, of course the command was not found.
