Issues with proxmox kernel

[mrwacko15]

I recently installed proxmox, and had some issues with upgrading kernels. With a full system update it rebooted in the middle of installing the new kernel. On reboot I had to run dpk --configure -a to get the system to continue its update.Now the system boots but I can't run apt update or upgrade because I get the message:

E: The package proxmox-kernel-6.5.11-7-pve-signed needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I can't seem to remove or reinstall that kernel through apt, and apt autoremove also doesn't seem to help. Anything else I can try?

Hi,

May you please post the output of `apt update && apt dist-upgrade` command?

And the the output of the following command:

grep '' /etc/apt/sources.list && grep '' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

The system restarts as soon as the install for the kernel starts after the apt upgrade command.

Hi,

thank you for the outputs!

We highly recommend to use apt dist-upgrade instead of apt upgrade

The system restarts as soon as the install for the kernel starts after the apt upgrade command.

Could you please provide us with the syslog `/var/log/syslog` file as attach? Or looking for any error messages that occur around the time of the reboot using `dmesg` command
