I have tried adding a number repositories to get this installed. I am running pve 8.3.3. Is this still supported or is there an alternative to allow importing of ESXi VMs?
 
I have updated and message is All packages up to date. I have also configured the no subscription repo.

What is the output of apt update? What is the output of apt install pve-esxi-import-tools? I don't recall installing it manually so I assume that it is already installed automatically?

It looks like you are mixing packages for 64-bit x86 and various ARM processors. What hardware are you using? Proxmox VE only supports 64-bit x86: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_system_requirements

EDIT: It looks like you are running some fork of Proxmox on a Raspberry Pi, which is not the same as official Proxmox VE. Please ask the developers/maintainers of that alternative software for support (and ask them to not use the name Proxmox).
