If you are running the APT update via the GUI, please post the entire Task log for the failed update.

If you run a manual apt update and apt dist-upgrade on the shell, what is the outpute there?

Best regards,

Please don't use apt upgrade on Proxmox, use apt dist-upgrade instead: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#system_software_updates

It seems most suggested the apt update and apt upgrade, apt dist-upgrade and apt full-upgrade. Well I figured it out.... there were some packages that were no longer needed and cause a conflict for the upgrade. I ran "apt autoremove" then apt update and finally apt upgrade.
