hi guysi am trying to install proxmox on a debian clean install and i am having the following problem:
Code:
# apt-get install qemu-serverReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree       Reading state information... DoneSome packages could not be installed. This may mean that you haverequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstabledistribution that some required packages have not yet been createdor been moved out of Incoming.The following information may help to resolve the situation:The following packages have unmet dependencies: qemu-server : Depends: libpve-access-control but it is not going to be installed               Depends: pve-cluster but it is not going to be installed               Depends: redhat-cluster-pve but it is not going to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
so i try to install its dependencies to see where the problem is and this is the result:
Code:
apt-get install redhat-cluster-pveReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree       Reading state information... DoneSome packages could not be installed. This may mean that you haverequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstabledistribution that some required packages have not yet been createdor been moved out of Incoming.The following information may help to resolve the situation:The following packages have unmet dependencies: redhat-cluster-pve : Depends: perlapi-5.14.2                      Depends: pve-cluster but it is not going to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Code:
# apt-get install perlapiReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree       Reading state information... DoneE: Unable to locate package perlapi
it seems that i am missing a repository .. any suggestion on how i can take this forward?i have purchased 'access to enterprise proxmox' repository for a year, if that makes a differencethanks,
 
thanks Tom,i had followed this document.the only difference was thati i had also downloaded and installed pve-kernel (source and firmware) version 3 packages from pve test manually.my repository are as follows:/etc/apt/source.list
Code:
deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free# security updatesdeb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/proxmox.list
Code:
# PVE repository provided by proxmox.com, only for installation (this repo will stay on 3.1)deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pvedeb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription## Due to a bug in debian/apt(?) it may be required to alter the above sources.list ## entry to say the following, ## if apt-get complains about not being able to find /binary-i386: ## "Unable to find expected entry 'pve/binary-i386/Packages'" ## (despite it being a 64bit debian install!)# deb [arch=amd64] http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list
Code:
deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-enterprise
while trying to install the missing package, it gives me this:
Code:
# apt-get install perlapi-5.18.2Reading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree       Reading state information... DoneNote, selecting 'perl-base' instead of 'perlapi-5.18.2'perl-base is already the newest version.0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
i am puzzled with this behaviour.so before i throw the whole thing out and reinstall the system.is there anything else that i could try.Thanks,
