after new install, aptitude safe-upgrade fails [ solved ]

[RobFantini]

After a fresh install then aptitude safe-upgrade :

Setting up pve-cluster (1.0-27) ...
Restarting pve cluster filesystem: pve-cluster.
input too long - aborting
dpkg: error processing pve-cluster (--configure):

Current status: 1 update [-89].

Note that I have backports enabled [ because nfs from backports has seemed to fixed some issues]. So maybe backports is causing the problem?
But we have 4 other systems using backports. But backports was added after a few pve upgrades on those systems...

Re: after new install, aptitude safe-upgrade fails

Please can you test without backports?

The issue was caused by backports . I reinstalled and then apt update worked fine.
