This would allow not to give the error?:
apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
Its safe to do that in production proxmox server and using the repository without subscription ?

I have read that I could manually do an *apt update* and authorize each time, but during the early morning it runs automatically and is giving the error.

Can anybody help me ?

If I am not mistaken then: apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change will only explicitly change information from stable to old-stable. If you don't want to upgrade your cluster to debian 11 and therefore proxmox 7, with this command you will stick to the old-stable version that has support for some time.

If I am wrong, please correct me :)
 
okay.
But I'm on pve 6.2 and at least I wanted to get to 6.4
but in this state it won't let me update?
Or the only thing that fails is the apt-get update, and is it possible to apply the upgrade?
I haven't tried upgrading yet
 
as far as I know, after executing this command
Code:
apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
you will be on the old-stable branch and will be able to update Debian to old-stable (10) and proxmox 6.x

in the InRelease file, the "only" information is changed from stable to old-stable. and with the command "release-infochange" you approve it.
