Hi everyone

Trying to upgrade from 8 to 9 but have massively broken everything. Having errors with:
  1. the shell on the GUI for my mode not logging in, but SSH through PowerShell works;
  2. restarted and only 1 VM will run, my other 3 lxcs won't start anymore; and
  3. didn't have any errors when running pve8to9 --full, but during apt dist-upgrade, experiencing the following.

Code: 
W: (pve-apt-hook) !! WARNING !!
W: (pve-apt-hook) You are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you really want to permanently remove 'proxmox-ve' from your system, run the following command
W: (pve-apt-hook)       touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
W: (pve-apt-hook) run apt purge proxmox-ve to remove the meta-package
W: (pve-apt-hook) and repeat your apt invocation.
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you are unsure why 'proxmox-ve' would be removed, please verify
W: (pve-apt-hook)       - your APT repository settings
W: (pve-apt-hook)       - that you are using 'apt full-upgrade' to upgrade your system
E: Sub-process /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook returned an error code (1)
E: Failure running script /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook

Hoping to solve #3 first to finalise the upgrade to 9, but it would be great if you could please help me troubleshoot the other points!

Thanks a lot!
 
What's apt update and apt policy look like?

Apt update and then apt upgrade looks like the below mess.

Apologies if the big list of unupgraded packages wasn't needed!
