Run sudo git status in the /etc/.pihole directory.

5 
pi@raspberrypi:/etc/.pihole $ sudo git status 
On branch master
Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 500 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
  (use "git pull" to update your local branch)
nothing to commit, working tree clean

And sudo git status in /var/www/html/admin?

7 
pi@raspberrypi:/etc/.pihole $ cd /var/www/html/admin
pi@raspberrypi:/var/www/html/admin $ sudo git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Okay, give pihole -up another run.

pi@raspberrypi:/var/www/html/admin $ pihole -up

I guess I don't mind blowing it away and starting from scratch but it would be nice to know what the issue is.

We're not done yet. Let's try the nuclear option:

cd /
sudo rm -rf /etc/.pihole
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole /etc/.pihole
pihole -up

What was the result when you ran sudo apt update

You have mixed packages (Jessie and Stretch), and that one does not exist. I think the Jellyfin source might also cause problems. You will need to clean up the OS install and then Pi-hole can get past this step of the updater.

I would start with looking at your /etc/apt/sources.list per the following guide:

I have a similar problem
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -up
[i] Checking for updates...
[i] Pi-hole Core: update available
[i] Web Interface: update available
[i] FTL: update available

[i] Pi-hole core files out of date, updating local repo.

[i] Update repo in /etc/.pihole...

I don't have mixed packages and have used pihole -up many times before
