I just tried to update a Proxmox VE 6.3-2 node. While it worked well on other nodes, this node seemingly wants to uninstall "proxmox-ve". See attached screenshot. That does not seem right, it's just a minor upgrade and did not happen on any other Proxmox node. Did anybody else see the same issue? I wouldn't be aware of any alterations made to this node. Any recommendations what I should do in that case?

Thanks! Indeed, manually deleting the standard Linux kernel solved the issue. I also figured out what (probably) caused the Linux kernel to be there (only on that one node): I installed `lib-guestfs` to get the `virt-edit` tools to manipulate `qcow2` files. Seems that package causes the kernel to downloaded (and then breaking the upgrade).
