Not sure what is going on. I have only ever upgraded through the GUI and now I am getting this message;

Code:
W: (pve-apt-hook) !! WARNING !!
W: (pve-apt-hook) You are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you really want to permanently remove 'proxmox-ve' from your system, run the following command
W: (pve-apt-hook)       touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
W: (pve-apt-hook) run apt purge proxmox-ve to remove the meta-package
W: (pve-apt-hook) and repeat your apt invocation.
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you are unsure why 'proxmox-ve' would be removed, please verify
W: (pve-apt-hook)       - your APT repository settings
W: (pve-apt-hook)       - that you are using 'apt full-upgrade' to upgrade your system
E: Sub-process /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook returned an error code (1)
E: Failure running script /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook

I looked around and tried the "linux-image" removal to no avail, and confirmed the package lists all say bookworm but at the top when running the upgrade it says
Code:
Starting system upgrade: apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  proxmox-firewall
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  proxmox-ve pve-manager
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  proxmox-kernel-6.8.8-1-pve-signed
The following packages have been kept back:
  pve-container

Anyone else experiencing this issue?
