Hi,
I have an interesting phenomenon with my proxmox (6.0-4). If I create a container with the official Debian 10 image (debian-10.0-standard_10.0-1_amd64.tar.gz) it will work until I update the packages. After that the container will not survive a reboot:

Code: 
28 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
N: Repository 'http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster InRelease' changed its 'Version' value from '10.0' to '10.1'
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
  base-files bzip2 e2fsprogs gpgv libbz2-1.0 libcom-err2 libcryptsetup12 libext2fs2
  libldap-2.4-2 libldap-common libncurses6 libncursesw6 libnghttp2-14
  libnss-systemd libpam-systemd libss2 libsystemd0 libtinfo6 libudev1 ncurses-base
  ncurses-bin ncurses-term python3-reportbug reportbug systemd systemd-sysv tzdata
  udev

Any idea why? :(
 
From another thread with the same issue it was noted their has been some fixes in updates on Promox for this.

You should update to the current 6.0-7 and try again

Hi, how can I do this? The GUI update doesn't show any updates. I also tried apt update && apt -y dist-upgrade in PVE root shell and it didn't show anything either.

Thanks.

I use the 5.4 version and can't upgrade to 6 right now!
I'll try to update 5.4 with last packages later and see it solves the problem.

By now I found out the problem is base-files package update.
After update base-files package I edited "/etc/debian_version" and change its value from "10.1" to "10.0" and the system restarted without problems!
