[SOLVED] Freezing whole server when trying to install proxmox on debian

[crosby]

Hey guys!
I have problem with installing proxmox on debian 11(base). Everything is going fine till installing postfix.
When it comes to postfix, i have to choose which type i want (no configuration/internet site/internet with smarthost/sattelite system or local only) and after i choose any of these, console freezes and server disconnects me from it, reboots doesn't help. Only reinstalling debian resolves the problem but then i have to install everything again, but it leads to the same problem.

[ i never had this problem with 5.4 version]
Last lines i can see in console:

Fetched 297 MB in 6s (45.9 MB/s)
Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 27574 files and directories currently installed.)

SOLVED: I've installed debian 10.10 and it's working without problems ( i dont know how to fix it in debian 11)

The last lines you pasted above would look like apt simply isn't done yet ?

I'd suggest to install tmux (or screen) - start the upgrade in one shell - and then check if/where it hangs in a second shell (`ps auxwf`)

I hope this helps!
