I decided to make the leap from Debian 11 to 12 and Proxmox 7 to 8 to see if it would clear things up... Still issues:

Everything is running okay, just getting these errors. It seems as if it's trying to process OLD dependencies. I could be wrong...

Hi!

This is just the "normal" proxmox upgrade results :D
Do you upgraded from deb11 to deb12?

I think some packages still in "deb11" and conflicts, you can fix it:

Code:
Query the deb11 packages from the system:
$> dpkg --list | grep -i deb11 > packages.old

Check the "packages.old" file, if there are some you can delete it manually, if there many you can use this:
Code:
WARNING - Carefully check the list, what wants to remove!

$> apt purge `dpkg --list | grep .*deb11 | awk '{print $2}'`

The above process when finished, after you can try the "upgrade" again:
Code:
$> apt-get clean all
$> apt-get autoclean
$> apt-get update
$> apt-get upgrade

If there is a problem ( usually yes :D ), after you need the check the error last part
( example is from yours )
Code:
Errors were encountered while processing:
 pve-kernel-5.15.108-1-pve
 proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-6-pve
 proxmox-kernel-6.2
 proxmox-default-kernel
 proxmox-ve
 initramfs-tools

No problem, you can fix this too. Go to the following directory:
Code:
$> cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
In this directory you can find the same files as the error message

Code:
 pve-kernel-5.15.108-1-pve-xxx
 proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-6-pve-xxx
 proxmox-kernel-6.2-xxx
 proxmox-default-kernel-xxx
 proxmox-ve-xxxx
 initramfs-tools-xxxx

Move this files to another directory, and run the upgrade again:
Code:
$> mkdir /root/dpkg

$> cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
$> mv pve-kernel-5.15.108-1-pve.* /root/dpkg/
$> mv proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-6-pve.* /root/dpkg/
$> mv proxmox-kernel-6.2.* /root/dpkg/
$> mv proxmox-default-kernel.* /root/dpkg/
$> mv proxmox-ve.* /root/dpkg/
$> mv initramfs-tools.* /root/dpkg/

$> apt-get clean all
$> apt-get autoclean
$> apt-get update
$> apt-get upgrade

Now the process will finish without error, the above files will be recreated under the "/var/lib/dpkg/info"
If there is a warning after the process like:
Code:
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'PACKAGE' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed

You can fix that:
Code:
$> apt install --reinstall PACKAGE

Hey @emunt6, @CCWTech Thanks question and for the fix! The removal (move) worked for me, I had the same issue.

Can you please explain the logic behind this so I can learn why these steps were taken:

1.] Why were the files removed from that directory.

2.] Why did the removal of the files not break the system when removed.

3.] How did the system know that the files were need/ not needed when the update was called.

Cheers!

I have had dependency issues before but would have been scared to try the above steps since I do not know the logic behind the why. thanks again
 
Esto lo resolvió... Espero que le sirva a alguien más:
dpkg --purge ayudante del núcleo pve
Mil gracias por tu gran aporte, me funciono al 100%,tenia el mismo problema al realizar la actualización de la versión 6 a la 8,no me dejaba actualizar ni tampoco instalar aplicaciones nuevas, thanks
