Upgrade Failed, Cannot Continue?

[Andy Huang]

I tried to run:

apt-get upgrade

It results in failure for these packages:

Errors were encountered while processing:
pve-firewall
qemu-server
pve-manager
proxmox-ve
pve-ha-manager
pve-container

When I try to run the debug command, I get this:

$ journalctl -xn

Here's my version info:

$ pveversion
pve-manager/4.2-4/2660193c (running kernel: 4.2.2-1-pve)

Can anyone please advise?

Try:

# apt-get dist-upgrade

Does that help?

I wanted to do upgrade first to get to latest available in the same branch before I do dist-upgrade, but this definitely fixed the problem for me. Thanks!

Interesing. I've always the this for full upgrades.

apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade && apt-get -y dist-upgrade

So, for this one I then had to do
apt-get -y dist-upgrade
then
apt-get -y upgrade

You only need dist-upgrade, nothing more.

So, then

 apt -y dist-upgrade

?

I'd never do a -y in a production system, but yes.
