[SOLVED] ifupdown2 'fear installing'

[lixaotec]

Dear folks,

Im trying to install ifupdown2, as stated in docs, that allows me to chnge network config with Apply Configuration, without rebooting.

Ive checked versions and assure that all is up to date.

However I got a scary message when trying to install it:

root@****:~# apt install ifupdown2

E: Sub-process /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook returned an error code (1)

What that means? I think that I do not wish to remove proxmox-ve.

Thanks in advance

Just found some other threads that enables proxmox sources.list in order to proceed.

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/s...r-apt-get-upgrade-with-no-subscription.77516/

however PVE no subscription repo are not for prod env. And Im running prod env.

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

so ifupdown2 package is not avaliable for non subscribers? or at least I should take the risk of not very tested repo?

thanks

All packages are available in all our repositories.

See this link for a description of our different repositories:

Thanks @tom

Just wondering.. I have not configured the no-subscription repo. As I read it is not ready for prod.

Therefore Im not an enterprise subscriber, so should I keep with no-subscription repo configured? If i dont take the risk of using it , ill be out of proxmox updates, right?

Without it Ill get only updates from debian sources, is that correct?

Thanks

Yes, you need always a Proxmox update repo.
