Perhaps the cause of this problem is that jitsi
Desktop (decidedly not jitsi-meet
) has unmet dependencies which cannot be easily resolved:
nicholas $
nicholas $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list
#deb https://download.jitsi.org stable/
nicholas $
nicholas $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-unstable.list
deb https://download.jitsi.org unstable/
nicholas $
nicholas $ sudo apt update
Hit:1 https://download.jitsi.org unstable/ InRelease

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
jitsi : Depends: libavformat57 but it is not installable or

Again, not installing jitsi-meet
but just jitsi
for the SIP
GUI.
libavfilter6
andlibavfilter-extra6
are only in 18.04 andlibavfilter-ffmpeg5
is only in 16.04. So at least from those set of dependencies, I'd say this thing isn't meant to be installed on anything newer than 18.04deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
