error during installation proxmox debian12 bookworm

[Septain21]

Good morning

I'm trying to install proxmox on a Debian 12 bookworm environment but when I got to the step: apt install pve-kernel-6.2 I got errors like this.

root@rk3318-box:~# apt install pve-kernel-6.2

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 proxmox-kernel-6.2 : Depends: proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-19-pve but it is not installable
 pve-firmware : Conflicts: firmware-brcm80211
                Conflicts: firmware-ralink
                Conflicts: firmware-realtek
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

An idea of the problem ?

THANKS

It seems that you've installed the mentioned firmware packages. Do you need them? If not, please remove/purge them.

Hello @LnxBil

I tried to remove these firmware packages but :

Hi,

root@rk3318-box

noticing the hostname - are you trying to install Proxmox VE on a ARM64 machine? Proxmox VE is only available for x86(-64), so that won't work.

Can you please share the output of uname -a and tail -n+0 /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*?

So yeah, you are running a ARM64 machine, which is not supported by Proxmox VE, and thus you cannot install it.

Please have a look at the System requirements for Proxmox VE.
