Upgrade from Proxmox 9.1 to 9.2

atatury · Aug 20, 2026

Hello all,

I'm trying to upgrade from Proxmox 9.1 running kernel 6.17.4-2 to Proxmox 9.2 running kernel 7.0.14-12; is "apt update" and "apt full-upgrade" enough for this ?
When I run "apt update" , it gives:

Code:

214 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
Notice: Repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease' changed its 'Version' value from '13.3' to '13.6'

It seems ok but when I run 'apt list --upgradable' :

As you see, kernel "7.0.14-12" is not listed and only kernel is proxmox-kernel-6.17/stable 6.17.13-21.

Is this totally normal and if it's the intended behaviour, how can I upgrade to kernel "7.0.14-12" ?

Thank you..

apt update && apt full-upgrade is all you need, that package is what selects the default kernel series, and 2.1.0 is the one that pulls in 7.0

Thank you very much

In the apt update output above I'm missing a line referencing Proxmox repositories, although the apt list --upgradable does indeed show upgradable Proxmox packages. Are you sure the Proxmox repositories are correctly configured?

apt only prints a get line for repos which metadata has actually changed since the last apt update run

There should still be a line. For example

Bash:

# apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security trixie-security InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve trixie InRelease
All packages are up to date.

This should bring clarity

Bash:

find /etc/apt/sources.* -type f -exec tail -n+1 {} +

VictorSTS · Aug 20, 2026

Yes, but there should be a "Hit:" line for every repo. Maybe OP didn't post the whole apt update output.

Edit: we posted at once

Yes that's true; I removed some lines because of posting limitations. Also only no-subscription repository is enabled (besides debian repos of course)..

The Proxmox VE package upgrade is progressing very slowly. The upgrade includes around 231 packages (~844 MB), but the download speed from download.proxmox.com has dropped to approximately 4–7 KB/s.

pve-firmware (231 MB) is currently downloading at this rate, and APT is estimating more than 1 day to complete, The upgrade has already been running for approximately six hours
The upgrade itself is still progressing, but the main issue appears to be the very slow package download speed from the Proxmox repository.

ping download.proxmox.com

Would it be advisable to let the current upgrade continue, or is there a recommended alternative mirror/repository path?
