DAB / Proxmox 8.2.x hardcoded base-files

[apmuthu]

In DAB: When trying to execute a dab exec dpkg -i .... the hardcoded error arises:
dpkg: error: cannot access archive '/var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_12.4+deb12u5_amd64.deb': No such file or directory

The current version of the base-files [ackage installed is:

# dpkg-query -l | grep base-files
ii  base-files                           12.4+deb12u6                        amd64        Debian base system miscellaneous files

The missing previous deb is still present in the PVE hosts /var/cache/apt/archives and attached herein.
The newer file though installed, is not present in the archives location!

The newer file can be downloaded with:

# in the PVE host
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
apt download base-files
