[TUTORIAL] E: Failure running script /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook

[esi_y]

If you have issue doing literally anything with apt (after you had removed some PVE package (typically only to intend to put it back), or even just the proxmox-ve meta package), a quick way out of the mess:

rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10pveapthook

There's other ways to do it, but anyhow this is here to help anyone to deal with the bug.

EDIT: NOTE: Do this only if you know what you are doing, otherwise follow the on-screen warnings.

This originated from "Cannot use apt after proxmox-ve removal" thread.

Bugs filed resulted in WONTFIX / NOTABUG:
Bug 5257 - apt commands fail after removal proxmox-ve
Bug 5258 - apt remove proxmox-ve (or any package) is quirky

Followed up now with:
Bug 5272 - No documentation of PVE APT hook "feature"
