I am unable to access the web GUI, nor do I have 'pveversion' or a proxmox-ve package installed. My LVS are still there. I follow the upgrade instructions perfectly. I have network connectivity. All of the pie.services were masked so I unmasked all those after reading that was an issue for someone else. If I try to do a 'apt install proxmox-ve' I get package is not available. I've even tried a version after it from seeing what others output looks like. I'd rather not reinstall so any help would be great.

My sources.list matches exactly what it's supposed to be.

Hey, I had the same issue, and you can try to fix it like this:

  1. Comment the CEPH repository.
  2. systemctl unmask pve firewall and manager
  3. Run apt update && apt dist-upgrade
 
Henrique,

I did those before posting. Unfortunately still no luck.There was nothing new to install for the dist-upgrade
 
if i try to install anything i get this

root@pve:~# apt-get install proxmox-ve
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package proxmox-ve is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'proxmox-ve' has no installation candidate
root@pve:~#
 
ok this is what i did, i edited the /etc/apt/sources.list and commented out the lines that were in there and put in this:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib

then i saved that and did a apt-get update
then apt-get upgrade
then apt-get dist-upgrade
and just to make sure all was good i did a apt-get install proxmox-ve
after that I could get into the web page. i rebooted afterwards and all was good.

I am back up and running. WOOHOO

Are you sure that the line "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription" is correct? I changed jessie to stretch before dist-upgrade. It simply worked. The online problem was that I was asked to add a key, which could be solved in seconds.
 
trying not to have to blow away everything and start fresh. I made the error of not doing backups :( test box became camera server box.
 
I had the same problems when upgrading proxmox 4.4 to 5.0.

I used these steps to fix the problem:
  1. Setup the pve-no-subscription repository by following this guide: serenity-networks.com/how-to-update-proxmox-ve-when-you-do-not-have-a-valid-subscription/ (add https to the link)
  2. Execute apt-get update
  3. Execute apt-get dist-upgrade
  4. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-sub.list and replace jessie by stretch
  5. Execute sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
  6. Execute apt-get update
  7. Execute apt-get dist-upgrade
  8. Done!
