I also did this:

lxc-start --name=109 --foreground
unsupported debian version '9.2'

how is the version 'unsupported' when it was downloaded from within pm4 from the container repository?

whats the solution for this?

this was fixed a while ago, please upgrade your pve installation to the latest 4.4
