Error creating new container

[JDISWT]

I have a problem when creating a new container with Debian 10.2

The following error appears

Detected container architecture: amd64
TASK ERROR: unsupported debian version '10.2'

I already modified file Debian.pm ( /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/Debian.pm ) with this content :

sub new {
my ($class, $conf, $rootdir) = @_;

my $version = PVE::Tools::file_read_firstline("$rootdir/etc/debian_version");

die "unable to read version info\n" if !defined($version);

# translate testing version names
$version = 9.1 if $version eq 'stretch/sid';
$version = 10 if $version eq 'buster/sid';
$version = 10 if $version eq '10.2';

die "unable to parse version info '$version'\n"
if $version !~ m/^(\d+(\.\d+)?)(\.\d+)?/;

$version = $1;

die "unsupported Debian version '$version'\n"
if !($version >= 4 && $version <= 11);

my $self = { conf => $conf, rootdir => $rootdir, version => $version };

$conf->{ostype} = "debian";

return bless $self, $class;
}

As you can see the error message doesn't corresponds to the one describe in the Perl file. I don't know how to force the file update.
Is it possible that another file is used?

I'm running Proxmox 5.2 :

Do I need to restart some service after updating the file?

I already did this operation one another host with success, but I can't remember if I did something particular.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm running Proxmox 5.2 :

5.2 is EOL and isn't supported anymore, for running newer guest CTs, getting security and other bug fixes upgrade at least to 5.4 ASAP - but also note that the 5.4 will go EOL at the end of July!
Ensure you have valid Proxmox VE repository you can access setup https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories

After you upgraded to 5.4 please make plan an upgrade to latest 6.x soon. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0

I'm running Proxmox 5.2 :

thats the issue, you run a totally outdated version.

just update to latest 5.4 or even better, to the current release 6.2.
