Just to add more issues to this thread, I get the following issue when installing:
Preparing to unpack .../plexmediaserver_1.18.6.2368-97add474d_amd64.deb ...
Removed /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/plexmediaserver.service.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
My override.conf:
[Service]
Environment=LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Environment=LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I’m confused… Note how the installer script says that LC_ALL does not use UTF-8, yet there it is in my override.conf…
(btw, override.conf was set this way to work around this issue: Local Media Assets: Metadata fails to load when there are unicode characters in the file path)
In this case, temporarily removing override.conf elsewhere and re-running the install works fine, after which I just move override.conf back in place and restart the service… but this is not a great solution long-term. Maybe the script has an issue checking that UTF-8 is used when it’s specified in the override.conf?
