Describe the bug
I'm trying to migrate from 10.5.5 to 10.6.3, but the MigrateUserDatabase migration fails and logs :
<UserConfiguration xmlns=''> was not expected.

Then Jellyfin shuts down. I have the same problem when migrating to 10.6.0.

What can I do to circumvent this problem ? Thanks a lot for your help.

System :

OS: Ubuntu Server 20.04
Virtualization: Docker
Jellyfin Version: 10.6.3
Installed Plugins: none
Reverse Proxy: nginx
Storage: local

Expected behavior
Jellyfin should migrate properly and start.

Problem solved, I had a corrupted : /config/users/**some_user**/policy.xml
I replaced the main UserConfiguration tag by UserPolicy, and now 10.6.4 boots flawlessly.
