<code>

This morning we install vlan, on the fresh installation

it seems that installing vlan deb package removes proxmox

just reinstalled a fresh proxmox server, alwways in ovh

Abort.

I am not an expert of apt-get apt-cache dpkg tools
How can detect that vlan would remove proxmox-ve pve-manager
using apt-get or apt-cache?

 

[dietmar]

Package vlan is old, badly maintained and simply not required - please do not install that package. iproute2 package contains everything you need to setup vlans.

I get your point,
many thanks
