Attempting to follow some instructions to install an arm64 VM, but failing on the first hurdle!

Following these instructions, but this is the result:

root@pve:~# apt install pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

Package pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64' has no installation candidate

This is on a fresh install of 8.3.0.

I did not know that Proxmox supported ARM64 VMs. What is the output of apt update? Did you enable the no-subscription or test Proxmox repository?

My output from regular fully up to date PVE 8.3.0:

Hi leesteken... I had enabled the test repository. That put me in the right direction. Once I removed the enterprise repositories and did an apt upgrade I could install the package.

Thanks!
