Hi all,

Have a 4 node cluster, ran the latest debian upgrade on a node running Linux 6.17.13-2-pve (2026-03-13T08:06Z). ssh and openssh-server failed to install, tried again got following output.

Unable to open syslog: Os { code: 111, kind: ConnectionRefused, message: "Connection refused" }

Node now has question mark on it and all it's storage and no sytem logs since I tried the update.

The only VM on the node is a home assistant vm which stopped communicating with MQTT on another node, trying to migrate it seems to be failing.

Just putting this here as a warning in case it's something widespread. I can rebuild the node and recover from backup.

Anyone else see this and / or ow how to fix?

Regards
