Hello,

After doing an apt-get update, followed by an apt-get dist-upgrade my Virtual Machine Creation (KVM) fails with:

Code:
/usr/bin/pvectl qmcreate 101 --mem 512 --disk 10 --onboot yes --name Test --cdrom cdrom --network model=rtl8139,tap --disktype ide --ostype other
Unknown option: disk
Unknown option: network
Unknown option: disktype
unable to apply VM settings -
My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like:

Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main

# PVE packages provided by proxmox.com
deb ftp://pve.proxmox.com/debian etch pve

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
Something weird I've noticed:

Code:
proxmox1:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  pve-manager
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
When trying to install pve-manager I get:

Code:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pve-manager: Depends: vlan but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Okay, so lets try to install VLAN:

Code:
proxmox1:~# apt-get install vlan
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package vlan is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package vlan has no installation candidate
What am I doing wrong here? Is the repository broken? Suggestions?
 
As was mentioned in the 0.9 beta 2 release notes, please fix your sources.list.

Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main

Should be changed to
Code:
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main
 
Thank you

I must have missed the release notes, though I don't remember seeing any after updating.
