Hi all,

During the upgrade of one of our nodes from PVE 5 to 6, we had an interruption.

As such, when we now try to re-run the process we get:

Code:

We've tried a few things to clean the apt config, but even going as far as "dpkg --configure -a" gives us:

I'd guess that the best way to move forward is if we somehow force the version upgrade of the dependency pakcages mentioned in the first snippet, but I'm not sure how to do this without hosing the entire system now, as cleanly removing and re-installing seems to be a no-go.

Anyone have experience or ideas?

Thanks,

Jon

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

To validate that we also have upgraded 6 other hosts with the same repos, and had no issues other than some network interfaces not showing up correctly.

Do you think a better option at this point may be to just rebuild this node?

Thanks,

I would first try the suggested fix apt --fix-broken install.

UPDATE:
Now I have reinstalled the node, but I'm just wondering what went wrong, now I'm afraid to update the next host.


I'm having the same issue.
I have switched all hosts to Corosync 3 with no issues as described in the official upgrade tutorial.
Than I upgraded one host to PVE 6 as described with no issues.

But another host has additionally got official Zabbix, Icinga, HW-RAID and Backports stretch repositories, but as far I see only installed packages required by Corosync 3 are using Backports:

Code:
dpkg-query -W | grep '~bpo'
corosync        3.0.4-pve1~bpo9
criu    2.11.1-1~bpo90

libboost-coroutine1.67.0:amd64  1.67.0-13+deb10u1~bpo9+1
libboost-date-time1.67.0:amd64  1.67.0-13+deb10u1~bpo9+1
libboost-filesystem1.67.0:amd64 1.67.0-13+deb10u1~bpo9+1
libboost-program-options1.67.0:amd64    1.67.0-13+deb10u1~bpo9+1
libboost-regex1.67.0:amd64      1.67.0-13+deb10u1~bpo9+1
libboost-thread1.67.0:amd64     1.67.0-13+deb10u1~bpo9+1
libcfg7:amd64   3.0.4-pve1~bpo9
libcmap4:amd64  3.0.4-pve1~bpo9
libcorosync-common4:amd64       3.0.4-pve1~bpo9
libcpg4:amd64   3.0.4-pve1~bpo9
libknet1:amd64  1.16-pve1~bpo9
libnvpair1linux 0.7.13-pve1~bpo2
libqb0:amd64    1.0.5-1~bpo9+2
libquorum5:amd64        3.0.4-pve1~bpo9
libuutil1linux  0.7.13-pve1~bpo2
libvotequorum8:amd64    3.0.4-pve1~bpo9
libzfs2linux    0.7.13-pve1~bpo2
libzpool2linux  0.7.13-pve1~bpo2
spl     0.7.13-pve1~bpo2
zfs-initramfs   0.7.13-pve1~bpo2
zfsutils        0.6.5.9-pve15~bpo80
zfsutils-linux  0.7.13-pve1~bpo2

So I did dist-upgrade but it aborted because the "zabbix-agent" package failed.

Now it looks like "hacman" wrote, it did the same steps to repair as described above, nothing helped.

Backports are now disabled.

Hi aaron,

thank you for your reply. As I wrote above, I have already re-installed that node, so it doesn't need to be repaired.
But I had tried what you suggested and it didn't help.
Now I'm wondering what went wrong because I plan to update more nodes.

Merry Christmas
 
I am a bit confused right now. Did you reinstall it with PVE 5 or 6? The extra Corosync3 repository is only needed on the older PVE 5.x nodes for the time of the upgrade.

Overall, if you have some dependency problems, I would suggest removing all the extra non Debian and non Proxmox VE repos first. Maybe also remove the extra software for now. Then add one by one and see which one causes problems.
 
Previosly it was a PVE 4 node that had been updated to PVE 5 an year ago. This week I tried to update it to PVE 6, but it failed and I spent a lot of hours to repair it - but with no success. Today I re-installed it from scratch.

Here I'm describing the failure during the upgrade to PVE 6 and how I did it. I'm trying to understand not just why it went wrong but also why all my attempts like
Code:
apt --fix-broken install
etc. didn't help.
Okay, one package like "zabbix-agent" failed during dist-upgrade and dist-upgrade aborted, but I don't understand why it was not possible to fix the dependencies and continue dist-upgrade.

Here are my update notices and most of these steps are taken from the official PVE 5 to 6 update tutorial, did I miss anything?

Code:
# Stop all VMs


# Upgrade al nodes to the latest version of Proxmox VE 5.4 and reboot

apt update

apt full-upgrade

reboot


# Run pve5to6 on all notes and fix problems

pve5to6


# Upgrade Corosync 2 to 3

# Stop all HA management services on all nodes:

# Stop the local resource manager "pve-ha-lrm" on each node

systemctl stop pve-ha-lrm

# Only after they have been stopped...

systemctl stop pve-ha-crm

# Then add the Proxmox Corosync 3 Stretch repository

echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/corosync-3/ stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/corosync3.list

apt update

# Upgrade all nodes simultaneously, e.g. using parallel ssh/screen/tmux.

apt dist-upgrade --download-only

apt dist-upgrade

pvecm status


# Update configuration https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/upgrading-pve-5-to-6.65348/

# Copy, switch to the default transport 'knet' and increase config_version

cp -p /etc/corosync/corosync.conf ~/

nano ~/corosync.conf

# stop corosync and pve-cluster on all nodes

# start pmxcfs in local mode (pmxcfs -l) on all nodes

# copy your modified configuration to /etc/corosync/corosync.conf and /etc/pve/corosync.conf on all nodes

cp -p ~/corosync.conf /etc/corosync/corosync.conf

cp -p ~/corosync.conf /etc/pve/corosync.conf

# stop the local mode pmxcfs instances (killall pmxcfs or C^C in the terminal where they are running

# start corosync and pve-cluster again

# verify their status with systemctl status pve-cluster corosync and pvecm status

   

# Once the update to Corosync 3.x is done on all nodes, restart the local resource manager and cluster resource manager on all nodes:

systemctl start pve-ha-lrm

systemctl start pve-ha-crm


nano /root/.ssh/config
