pls tell the whole story of your installation, starting from bare metal.
 
with 'aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32' the vzctl package should be installed.

check with 'pveversion -v'


btw, do NOT install vzdump, its obsolete now.
 
Seems not helped:

# aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32

Martin just updated the wiki page, working smooth now.
 
But proxmox-ve-2.6.32 still depends by vzctl. How i fix it? I need to make a new fresh install?
 
There seems to be a stale vzctl backup from a previous installation. Please try to remove that with:

# mv /etc/vz/conf.org /root/old-vz-conf.org

Then try again.

I assume there are no old containers on that system? If so you can safely remove /root/old-vz-conf.org
