[SOLVED] Apt wants to remove 'proxmox-ve' during update

[laurensb]

During dist-upgrade, apt wants to remove the package proxmox-ve. Is this intended?

Yeah, I noticed a lot of threads and posts. It indeed seems best to let devs sort this out, no rush to upgrade anyway.

I am experiencing the same issue. How long will it take to be resolved?

Devs are working on it: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/u...-remove-proxmox-ve-package.149101/post-675210

I expect a solution within 1 or 2 days.
