Fairly standard installation… and today dist-upgrade is trying to uninstall proxmox-ve. Other threads' suggestions aren't fixing it for me. Any ideas? I'm reluctant to override.

I was able to update the kernel independently, but ceph is still stuck:

ceph 12.2.8 needs a new libpve-storage-perl, but this is only available on pve-no-subscription and pvetest, not yet on pve-enterprise
 
I have the same problem. Yesterday I installed ceph in my first node, today when I've try to install in the second node I've found the same problem. If I try to install any package of ceph it happens the same.

Maybe because I use subscription now (purchased subscription, still valid) but installed using the non-subscription edition?
I followed this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0

please uninstall the stock Debian kernel - the upgrade pulls in stock Debian kernel firmware otherwise, which conflicts with the PVE provided firmware packages (which in turn are required by the PVE kernel, which is required by proxmox-ve)
 
Thanks, had the same issue and this helped.

It would be nice to add this to the wiki under Preconditions or Troubleshooting.

The Jessie to stretch upgrade was apparently not affected by this, I found a kernel from before that upgrade. So I extended the command from the install wiki page where it's an optional step.

`apt remove linux-image-amd64 'linux-image-[34]*'`

Thanks Helmo. Just stumbled on this also and could not figure it out. Removing kernels with your command was good fix. I always remove stock kernels after original install, but this original install was not done by me, so I haven't bumped on this before.
 
I just managed to be stuck with this now as an attempt to upgrade PVE from version 5 to 6.

I had not done the original installation and was not aware that this had been an installation with PVE on top of Debian originally. I did not pay attention at the time of "apt dist-upgrade", what important packages it wanted to uninstall (like proxmox-ve) and let it run at the time unfortunately.

Now a "apt remove linux-image-amd64" seems too late ("Package 'linux-image-amd64' is not installed, so not removed") and I do not know how to move forward with this PVE version update attempt.

Any help here?
Thanks
 
Just install the proxmox-ve back in there if it still runs. Otherwise just backup /var/lib/vz folder, make clean install and restore it to fresh install. AFAIK this is the only needed folder that retains information about the proxmox environment. Also copying over hosts file would be great, so that ip and hostnames match.

There is always a way to install proxmox on usb or some other external drive to make a testrun for it without ruining your source so you can regroup and try again if something is not right or missing.

Click to expand...

  1. make the PVE repository key available
  2. make sure proper PVE repositories are configured
  3. apt update
  4. apt install proxmox-ve
for 1./2., refer to https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Buster
post output of the last two here if it does not work.
 
Thanks Jannoke and Fabian.

I will try Fabian's suggestion tomorrow night NZ time and as a worst case will follow Jannoke's suggestion to move forward with a fresh install of PVE6 (and backup/restore of previous configuration).
