Hi!

A normal apt upgrade generates this output:

It's not entirely clear to me, but did you also try the actually recommended apt dist-upgrade ?
As it seems that you have, or would get, firmware-linux-free installed, which is the firmware package from Debian. But Proxmox projects have their own package (pve-firmware) which is newer and tailored to our Linux kernel packages.

So, if you have it installed it would need to be removed, but the apt upgrade refuses to remove it (it only updates existing and installs new packages), so if you did not already try then please retry with the recommended apt dist-upgrade

If that does not help, please post also the output of apt list --upgradable to see what updates would be pulled in, so we can track down the problematic one.
