Switched apt/sources.list and apt/source.list.d from buster to bullseye and did apt update && apt full-upgrade and I end with a systemd failure.

Only thing really installed is wireguard.

Hi,

I tested it here... works as expected! what is your LXC config look like pct config CTID? and can you provide us with the output of pveversion -v?

EDIT:
the sources.* from the LXC as well
Bash: 
grep '' /etc/apt/sources.list &&  grep '' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

No, I had swapped them all to bullseye prior to the upgrade.

Code:

Click to expand...

But the output inside your container shows buster repos. You need to change them there too, if you want to upgrade your LXC from buster to bullseye.

Yes, I'm showing what they are before I started the upgrade. I changed them to bullseye prior to starting within the LXC. (If I hadn't it would have just upgraded buster to the latest packages)

In the Debian 10 lxc you have to change the sources to:

Code: 
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib

deb http://security.debian.org bullseye-security main contrib

then upgrade by using apt update -y && apt full-upgrade -y commands. However, you can test that on a test LXC container in your Proxmox VE to see if the issue is repeatable.
 
Just tried it again with your 3 lines. Repeatable.

I think these might be my problem but I don't understand what they are.

Code:

Somehow it seems my ownership on a lot of files is wrong.

Just a temporary test I did:
chown -R root:root /
SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal

Now apt full-upgrade -y completes.

Weird, I don't know how the ownership got messed up. I also don't know how to restore ownership to what it should actually be instead of root:root.

Lastly, I noticed a peculiar message during upgrade.

Error! The /var/lib/dkms/wireguard/1.0.20210219/5.10.0-11-amd64/x86_64/dkms.conf for module wireguard includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.

This post helped me figure that out.
