apparmor dmeventd dmsetup grub-common grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed grub2-common libapparmor1 libdevmapper-event1.02.1 libdevmapper1.02.1
liblvm2cmd2.03 libnvpair3linux libuutil3linux lvm2 proxmox-backup proxmox-backup-client proxmox-backup-server proxmox-mail-forward
proxmox-mini-journalreader proxmox-network-interface-pinning proxmox-offline-mirror-helper proxmox-termproxy sg3-utils smartmontools zfs-initramfs
zfs-zed zfsutils-linux

Hey,

How did you upgrade the packages? With apt dist-upgrade? Also, can you post the output of the following commands?

• apt policy
• pbs3to4 --full
• proxmox-backup-manager version --verbose

Thanks!

 

[ChrisJM]

i did get this - then gave it a reboot and tried to install it but getting further errors

Re-executing '/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-proxmox-boot' in new private mount namespace.. No /etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids found, skipping ESP sync. System booted in EFI-mode but 'grub-efi-amd64' meta-package not installed!

I think you missed the main thing: https://pbs.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_3_to_4#Update_Debian_Base_Repositories_to_Trixie

 

[ChrisJM]

i added it, im not using enterprise. so i did the no subscription

 

[JensF]

I'm talking about this one:

sed -i 's/bookworm/trixie/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

Your apt policy is still talking about bookworm...

 

[sterzy]

You have Bookworm and Trixie repositories configured. Please remove the bookworm repositories and configure Debian Trixie repositories correctly. Otherwise, the upgrade cannot work. You seem to be using a local mirror, make sure that it also contains the Debian Trixie repositories. The output of apt policy should look somewhat more like this:
