Been running 9.2.2 and proxmox for years and never had this update not finish.

Last line was:
Setting up qemu-server (9.1.16) ...
Setting up pve-manager (9.2.3) ...

Then it doesn't exit but everything is working fine.

Starting system upgrade: apt-get dist-upgrade
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 2209937 (apt-get)
N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

Can I just kill the last apt-get and remove this lock? I believe it finished successfully.

Have you given it a bit of time and retried? Its likely than automatic update/refresh is running in the background. Its possible that it is done by now.
You can query the system (ps -efw|grep atp) to see if anything is running.
You can also examine the lock to see if its old and may have been left behind by crashed process or something similar.

You can remove the lock if you are sure that nothing is actively using it. I would spend time reviewing the system first.

Thanks!

Resolved, my guest services task was stuck I remember pressing stop, when I rebooted because my vm start time delays were off... I guess it doesnt restart itself.

Ok my fault I guess?

Solved by restarting:

systemctl kill -s SIGKILL pve-guests.service
systemctl reset-failed pve-guests.service
