[SOLVED] apt-get dist-upgrade isues on no subscription systems

[RobFantini]

Hello

we are having issues still with upgrades. for instance:

apt-get  dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  proxmox-widget-toolkit pve-i18n pve-xtermjs
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  proxmox-ve pve-manager
The following packages will be upgraded:
  iproute2 libpve-apiclient-perl libpve-common-perl pve-container pve-kernel-4.13.16-3-pve pve-kernel-4.15.17-3-pve
6 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 104 MB of archives.
After this operation, 9,282 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.

then on another system I tried removing proxmox-ve pve-manager figuring I could install after .

however ther eis a perl dependency issue:

 apt-get install -f  proxmox-ve pve-manager
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
pve-manager is already the newest version (5.2-5).
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 pve-cluster : Depends: perl (>= 5.24.1-3+deb9u3) but 5.24.1-3+deb9u2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

all our stretch systems have perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u2 . even ones using backports.

I've tried downloading various packages from http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve and using dpkg to install - however i keep running in to the perl version issue.

Does someone have an idea on how to fix this?

thanks

please post the content of all your apt sources.list files.

Please add a Debian security repository, e.g.:

deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib

and update, there the respective perl version - with relevant security fixes - should be available, i.e:
https://packages.debian.org/de/stretch/perl show that 5.24.1-3+deb9u4 is available.
