Hey there, I'm new to Proxmox and LXC so I've been trying to stand up apps using helper scripts. Every attempt—regardless of the application—fails with Exit Code 255approximately 2 minutes after creation.
The Symptoms:
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The Symptoms:
- The script successfully creates the container.
- I manually start the container.
- The script hangs for about 2 minutes.
- After the timeout, it fails with: in line 3814: exit code 255 (DPKG: Fatal internal error): while executing command pct start "$CTID".
- PVE Version: 9.1.5 (pve-manager: 9.1.5)
- Kernel: 6.17.9-1-pve
- Storage: LVM-Thin (pve/data)
- Template: debian-13-standard_13.1-2_amd64.tar.zst
- AppArmor: Currently disabled at the kernel level (apparmor=0 in GRUB). aa-status confirms it is not running.
- Max Release: Modified /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/Debian.pm to allow versions up to 15.
- Tested both Privileged and Unprivileged modes; same result.
- Nesting and Keyctl enabled or disabled; same result.
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
