Linux headers

[kloy]

hello,

This morning, i tried to dist-upgrade my proxmox VE 5.2 box and i got the following issue :

Setting up pve-kernel-4.15.18-4-pve (4.15.18-23) ...
Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.

please install the linux-headers-4.15.18-4-pve package to fix this.

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.18-4-pve

and it freeze

But no linux-headers-4.15.18-4-pve file available on repo
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/stretch/pvetest/binary-amd64/
nor in
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/stretch/pve-no-subscription/binary-amd64/

What can a do to regain access to my server ?

Thanks a lot for helping me...

i stopped the install, downloaded ...
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/...ve-headers-4.15.18-4-pve_4.15.18-23_amd64.deb

installed it running
dpkg -i pve-headers-4.15.18-4-pve_4.15.18-23_amd64.deb
-> Ok


it ask me to run dpkg --configure -a

and it keeps freezing (i've waited more than 5 Minutes), no prompt

Any idea ?

check the logs and or running processes to find out where it hangs..

check the logs and or running processes to find out where it hangs..

i found a solution on a debian forum : a bug with initramfs-tools updates is documented . It is a problem with a sync process ... A dirty solution which works for me :

Thanks a lot, every think is ok now...
