What is "proximmox-ve"? What do I need to do?

proxmox-ve is a meta package that ensures that all relevant parts of the Proxmox VE are installed and will keep being installed.

The error you run in is a protection to avoid removing proxmox-ve due to some misconfiguration, normally in the apt repository sources, or seldom also in the selection of installed packages.

What's the output of apt update and head -n-0 /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ?

In the simplest case you just might miss a Proxmox VE repo that you got access too:

You also need the base Debian repos, add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib

Then run apt update again, or refresh the update states through the web UI, and then retry the system upgrade

Thank you very much, for I don't know much about computers. It seems to have succeeded!
