apt-get dist-upgrade attempts to remove proxmox-ve!

[Lucian Lazar]

Hi there,
I am using latest version of proxmox-ve in a clustered 4 nodes environment with ceph.
Today, attempting to update i had this dangerous problem:

apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libpve-guest-common-perl libpve-storage-perl proxmox-ve pve-container pve-ha-manager pve-manager qemu-server
The following packages will be upgraded:
  ceph ceph-base ceph-common ceph-mgr ceph-mon ceph-osd libcephfs2 libcurl3 libcurl3-gnutls librados2 libradosstriper1 librbd1 librgw2 python-cephfs
  python-rados python-rbd python-rgw
17 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 7 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Why is this happening? What should i do to prevent this behavior and be able to continue with updates?
Thank you

if you use our ceph repo, then you need our repo also, but if you have no subscription just use no-subscription repo see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories
