Hi,

I just ran into this error when doing a "pveupdate" and "pveupgrade" on my PVE host.
I'm running kernel 6.2 for a few weeks now, before that I had kernel 5.15.
No problems no errors, until now.
What is the solution, I tried apt autoremove, apt full-upgrade, apt dist-upgrade. Still these errors :

Starting system upgrade: apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 3 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0 B/76.8 MB of archives. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y Setting up pve-kernel-5.15.108-1-pve (5.15.108-1) ...

what is the content ? (cat /etc/default/grub)

Code:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`Proxmox Virtual Environment`

Seem wrong, it should be double quoted

Code:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Proxmox Virtual Environment"

(It's like this on all my proxmox install, not sure why you have single quote here)

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!
That was indeed the solution, double quote marks.
No clue how those single quotes got there...
And this had been running for months.
Anyway, I'm very happy now!
