Not sure what's going on. I have 3 nodes that all have the same issue with inplace upgrade.
Code: 
root@prox-f:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib

The error I receive after "apt-get dist-upgrade" is
Code:

@Raymond Burns

I found the solution to the problem.

Code: 
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

This cleaned out the errors or conflicts that apt was seeing. The upgrade went well after I cleaned it.
 
Running into this issue as well upgrading from 4.4 to 5.x, not using ceph and I have a license key.
Tried apt-get clean, update and dist-upgrade, same error

Hi Wolfgang, I see that you requested the user to open a new thread however I too am having this same problem. According to The1stSword his issue was resolved running the clean. Now both Orlando Leon and myself are seeing that this does not resolve like was suggested to resolve. IMO This thread should not be closed or resolved if others are still having the same exact issue.

I resolved this by using udpu as transport, it is an issue related to multicast on the network.
The correct solution is to make sure your network fully supports multicast also verify there is an igmp querier.
 
I had the same problem yesterday.

The reason this problem occurs is that, when updating ceph from jewel to luminous (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_Jewel_to_Luminous) you install ceph from the ceph server and not from the proxmox server. Since the ceph server now has a version 12.2.7 which isn't compatible with promox 5. upgrading to proxmox 5 fails.

You can fix this by installing ceph 12.2.5 from the proxmox server, after that the dist-upgrade runs through.

In case you haven't already upgraded ceph you can install ceph 12.2.5 directly of course, without the need to later downgarde.
 
I am having the same issue when I tried to upgrade from 5.1->5.2

Hi,
does the same happens with dist-upgrade?
Code: 
apt dist-upgrade
And what happens, if you install the higer versions of the perl libs?
Code: 
apt install libpve-common-perl libpve-guest-common-perl
