History:
Attempted an in-place upgrade from v8.4.16 to v9.1 after running "pve8to9 --full" and getting no show stopping errors. At some point during the update, apt broke and left my host in an unusable state. Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to backup the host because I was rushing and now I'm paying the idiot tax. I'm hoping to recover this install, but if it can't be done, I'll take my lumps like a nerd and do a clean install as all VMs are on different storage from the OS.

Click to expand...
sounds like you might need to remove either the docker-compose or docker-compose-plugin package. Since the docker-compose-plugin has a version for Debian 12, I'd try to remove that, e.g. apt --fix-broken install docker-compose-plugin-
 
I think you got bit by the difference between: apt-get upgradeand apt-get dist-upgrade.

You really want to use apt-get dist-upgrade.Try using the correct command and see if you can recover the upgrade.
 
Thanks, but unfortunately, that made no difference.

I resolved the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'
error by running the following commands:
Bash: 
cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
cp apt_pkg.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so apt_pkg.so

Running apt remove docker-compose-plugin- didn't resolve the docker related error however.
 
It looks like I got the install back on track.

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose

Followed by apt -f install, a poorly advised reboot, and my networking config breaking again (bridge wouldn't start and system acted like it was ignoring the config file which forced me to set IP and routes manually). At that point I was able to run apt dist-upgrade twice, with an apt update in-between which seems to have resolved everything.
