Just installed from Debian (due to needing a custom partitioning scheme). I installed a similar server last week without issue but ran into this error installing on this system.

Upon trying to install proxmox-ve packages, pve-firewall fails to configure because it can't be started.

pve-firewall/stable,now 3.0-5 amd64 [installed]

In the logs, it cannot load the ACL:

Code: 
Mar 27 19:38:56 w100 pve-firewall[3506]: ipcc_send_rec[1] failed: Connection refused
Mar 27 19:38:56 w100 pve-firewall[3506]: ipcc_send_rec[2] failed: Connection refused

Mar 27 19:38:56 w100 systemd[1]: Failed to start Proxmox VE firewall

Any ideas?

---------------

I noticed /etc/pve is empty for some reason too. Trying to reboot, uninstall proxmox-ve (with autoremove) and reinstalling leads to the same issues. pve-firewall configuration fails and results in the rest failing:

Code:

Job for pve-firewall.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status pve-firewall.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Do you have a static network config and is the interface up? If 'pvereport' works, then you could do easily a comparison of your servers.

pvereport is not available. It is a static network config and the interface is up (as I'm able to download the packages via apt):

Code: 
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug enp10s0f0
iface enp10s0f0 inet static
        address ***.***.***.13
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway ***.***.***.1

Code: 
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

Are there pve entries in the /etc/hosts and does the hostname correspond to the host in the hosts file?
Code: 
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.2 pve1.proxmox.com pve1 pvelocalhost
