Hi,
I am not an administrator but using Proxmox to run some VMs as lab.
I have the latest version PVE 8.2.4, From the web I was routinely updating the system but apt-get upgrade interrupted because of Power outage .
Once the power is restored I tried apt-get upgrade once again but there is a problem with a python package "python3-idna"
I was getting the following error
Because I was stuck with this error I attempted to remove this package multiple times but since there are other packages that depends on it that made it hard.
I used this command to force delete the python3-idna package so I can later reinstall it using the following command
The package was deleted but I can't install it again
Also when run "apt --fix-broken install" I got the following which seems not very safe it will remove important packages that will may be make the system not usable
I am asking about your opinions how to resolve such issue?
