[SOLVED] Failed dist-upgrade

[mihalski]

Hi,

I just tried to dist-upgrade to 5.0 and got the following error:
```
Selecting previously unselected package pve-manager.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. If it helps diagnose the problem here are my apt sources:
```
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian stretch pve-no-subscription

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib
```

Also, for what it's worth:
ii libmime-base32-perl 1.02a-1 all Base32 encoder/decoder

I just tried with 1.301-1 but that didn't work also.

I've managed to get it upgraded.. for some reason I had to do multiple dist-upgrades.

But now after a reboot the webui isn't available and as far as I can tell none of the containers or vm's are running.

EDIT: I've worked it out.

Because of the earlier problems pve-manager hadn't been installed.. Installed that and it's all back up and running.. Fingers crossed.
