[SOLVED] Is it safe to remove obsolete packages after upgrade to PVE 8.0?

[sbellon]

I just upgraded from PVE 7.4 to PVE 8.0 without any issues.

After the upgrade, I noticed that I now have the following obsolete packages still installed:

pve:~# apt list ?obsolete

Is it safe to remove them or do I risk breaking anything?

yes, those all look save to remove (except the kernel, if you are currently booting from that version ). please double-check the list of to-be-removed packages though to verify that nothing unexpected gets transitively removed!
