Hello,

just remove the "/dist" from "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs/dists bullseye pbs-no-subscription"

Hello,

In case you are actually running a Proxmox Backup Server on the same host than the Virtual Enviroment you can instead use the repo mentioned in [1] to get updates to the backup server, if not please remove them as already suggested.

Thank you so very very much. It works now. Well done.

Hey there,

I have a similar issue for a couple of days, after installing a Pi-Hole LXC.

What shall I do?

Hey there,

does anybody have a hint for me to resolve my issue with "apt-get update"?

Looks like a problem with your DNS server.

MisterPP said:

Fix the problem (probably caused by your Pi-Hole setup) or use another DNS server?

MisterPP · Oct 25, 2023

Okay, sounds reasonable.

I use Adguard DNS Server as primary and dnsforge as secondary:

AdGuard DNS will not block ads, trackers, or any other DNS requests.
IPv4: 94.140.14.140 IPv6: 2a10:50c0::1:ff

DNSforge
IPv4: 176.9.93.198
IPv6: 2a01:4f8:151:34aa::198

Do you have any suggestions for an alternative DNS Server?

And how do I fix the problem?

The DNS server at 176.9.93.198 can resolve ftp.debian.org just fine. The problem must be at your end. Are you sure Proxmox uses and can reach this server?

EDIT: What is the output of dig @176.9.93.198 ftp.debian.org?

MisterPP · Oct 25, 2023

Awesome. You put me on the the right track.

The output is:

Code:

But the key to success was to edit the /etc/resolv.conf
The IP adress of the pihole LXC didn't match in the .conf. After editing everything works fine for me:
