Accidentally deleted Proxmox?

[DerPasi]

Hi,
i wanted to upgrade from 6.3.xxx to 6.4.x but something went wrong... I got this Error-Message:

W: (pve-apt-hook) !! WARNING !!
W: (pve-apt-hook) You are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you really want to permanently remove 'proxmox-ve' from your system, run the following command
W: (pve-apt-hook) touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
W: (pve-apt-hook) run apt purge proxmox-ve to remove the meta-package
W: (pve-apt-hook) and repeat your apt invocation.
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you are unsure why 'proxmox-ve' would be removed, please verify
W: (pve-apt-hook) - your APT repository settings
W: (pve-apt-hook) - that you are using 'apt full-upgrade' to upgrade your system

... i googled a bit but couldn't find a solution and entered touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'...
Then i upgraded and it worked... but... did i just remove proxmox from my server? xD That would be bad tho... Is there any chance to get it back or do i have to reinstall everything?
Greetings ^^

If you allowed it to remove proxmox-ve you deinstalled it and now just got a Debian.
Let me guess...you previously installed PVE ontop of a Debian and you didn't finished the last (optional) step from the wiki "Optional: Remove the Debian kernel"? In that case an apt update can find a newer version of the Debian kernel and may want to install it. Because the new Debian kernel is conflicting with the proxmox-ve package (because PVE needs its own modified Ubuntu kernel) it will ask you if you want to remove proxmox-ve.
Atleast I got the same problem once because of that.

Not sure if your configuration is still there if you just install the proxmox-ve package again.

Fine that it worked. Maybe because you didn't try to reboot so still the old kernel was used.
If you now run PVE7 you still should make sure to read the pve6to7 update guide. You might need to change the repositories and so on because PVE7 is based on Debian Bullseye and not Buster.

I already updated the repos'. I only get 1 Warning:
WARN: Ceph health reported as 'HEALTH_WARN'.
Use the PVE dashboard or 'ceph -s' to determine the specific issues and try to resolve them.
but everything else is fine.
