Hello!

I tried looking for this issue here and elsewhere so if there is a thread on this topic already I apologize for duplicating it here.

My trouble is while trying to upgrade from 7.4-18 to 8.x the normal dist-upgrade is not working. Specifically it is just dropping back to the prompt with no errors, but also not upgrading.

This is the output of my dist-upgrade:

root@pve1:~# apt dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
root@pve1:~#

All packages are fully updated/upgraded and the PVE7to8 command shows some warnings for a local storage pool that missing due to a drive stack that died, but it was just an ISO/VM image store for me so it shouldn't matter, and no other issues.

I'm likely missing something foolish, but any help would be very much appreciated.
 
Never mind. Helps if I RTFM.
*grin* - been there, done that :)

It would be nice (and possibly helpful to other users, experiencing that phenomenon) to tell us what you had missed. And then please edit the title of the first post and select "Solved" in the drop down menu...

Best regard, and: have fun!
