i did apt update and upgrade
followed by install proxmox-ve-2.6.18

i keep on seeing

Code:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = (unset),
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-2-pve

edit: the kernel update seems to have worked, but not sure why i got those warnings earlier.

seems you (or your ssh client) set LANG to "en_GB.UTF-8" , and tha locale is not installed by default. To install it use

Code:
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
Or simply set LANG to 'C' after login (or in the ssh client)

Code:
# export LANG=C
