I'm having trouble running apt upgrade on my PVE instance.
The error I get is:
Code: 
dpkg: error processing package pve-manager (--configure):
 installed pve-manager package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

I've checked journalctl -xe, and the output has a ton of these:
Code: 
Jan 25 09:37:39 pve pveproxy[1941]: starting 1 worker(s)
Jan 25 09:37:39 pve pveproxy[1941]: worker 2333 started
Jan 25 09:37:39 pve pveproxy[2333]: /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key: failed to load local private key (key_file or key) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/APIServer/AnyEvent.pm line 1917.
Jan 25 09:37:40 pve pveproxy[2331]: worker exit

Any ideas?
 
A little history of activity:
I recently updated docker-compose and ran out of space while trying to run apt upgrade later on. To resolve that, I looked at my docker containers and was able to remove about 9GB of space by removing running containers and using docker system prune -a --volumes. After that, I rebooted and ran apt update. No problems. apt upgrade, and here we are. This is my media center server, so I would really love to get it up and running.
 
What's the output of systemctl status pve-cluster.service and df -h?

Looks like pve-cluster failed and pmxcfs is not mounted (/etc/pve).

Try running systemctl restart pve-cluster.service.
 
systemctl restart pve-cluster.service
Code: 
Job for pve-cluster.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status pve-cluster.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

^^^ Over and over again with different worker numbers
 
Is this a cluster or a standalone node?

You mentioned running apt upgrade. We recommend using apt full-upgrade as a simple upgrade can lead to issues.
 
Please provide your /etc/hosts file.
 
That's the issue. Please remove the second line and add an additional one that maps your IP address, for example 192.168.0.10 to your host:
192.168.0.10 pve.<domain> pve

Replace the IP address with your configured one (ip a) and `pve` with whatever is configured in /etc/hostname.
 
I have same problem and I did the same steps as suggested by mira but still issue not resolved.

I have the same exact issue (like the replies in this post)
I actually had a single node working perfectly for months and suddenly this happened

My root is at 75%, still 11GB available

I'm also getting issues with the network, I can ping even external sources and DNS but cannot access the GUI, apt update (gets stuck in waiting for headers) and SSH (from and to)

Please provide the output of the following commands:
Code: 
pveversion -v
df -h
The complete error message and the journal since the last boot:
journalctl -b | gzip > journal.txt.gz

I finally did a fresh install and migrated most everything manually. I sent too many hours on this. Furthermore, I just learned that I must research about doing migrations/changes to host and network resources before messing everything up.
