Please create new qBittorrent LXC. Updating from v4.x to v5.x is not supported!

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

There is a similar issue with this problem I already run most of the troubleshooting in that post but still have the same issue.

qBittorrent_version.txt 5.1.2 in it.

/opt/qbittorrent/qbittorrent-nox --version qBittorrent v5.1.2

This is the qbittorrent-nox.service

Description=qBittorrent client
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
ExecStart=/opt/qbittorrent/qbittorrent-nox
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I know 5.1.2 is the latest version, but I shouldn't get that error.
