Hello, it is my first post.
After upgrading my proxmox installation from 6.x to 7.4-3, i've encountered several errors:


Code: 
Errors were encountered while processing:

 initramfs-tools



dpgk -a,apt --fix-broken install... and so on are not able to fix the problem

How you did the upgrade?

Can you please try to re-install the pve-manager by issue the following command:
Bash: 
apt install proxmox-ve --reinstall

I changed out sources for newer ones added comuinty repo and dist-upgraded, probably messed something up but second server upgraded fine
 
Code:

should be commented too if you don't have the subscription.
(Could be possible that it's blocking apt-update)


or if you have a subscription, remove
Code: 
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

but don't use both at the same time.

Did you have upgraded to last 6.X no subscription version before upgrading to 7.X ?

because zz-pve-efiboot has been removed 3years ago from packages.

Seem than a remaining files from old packges is still installed

Yep it seems it is the case, reading from terminal history it seems, that i've added sources in the wrong order, so now i need to figure out wich files to delete and how to get newer ones, if you have have any idea whre to start help will be apreciated, but in anycase thanks a lot now i know what i've done wrong :)
 
Hi!

The Official upgrade guide is wrong, when you do major version upgrade the following process is working:
- Make backup from the /etc/ directory,
- Upgrade the base debian linux first (every other repo must be disabled)
- Upgrade the other packages/repos (every other repo can be enabled: proxmox)

Otherwise you end up conflicting/half installed packages. (Example: pve-firewall package always conflicts, it stops the upgrade process. I have done this many PVE version upgrades, always failed the "official" process)
Code: 
$> cd /root
$> tar -cf etc.tar.gz /etc

$> apt-mark hold proxmox-ve
$> apt-mark hold pve-manager

Check the contents of the following, ENABLE only the base debian repos, disable the others ( "#" comment out )
Code: 
/etc/apt/mirror.list
/etc/apt/mirror.list.d/

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

Code: 
REBOOT

Now, you can add/enable the other packages/repos that match your debian version/release ( remove "#" comment sign )
Code: 
/etc/apt/mirror.list
/etc/apt/mirror.list.d/

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

$> apt-mark unhold proxmox-ve
$> apt-mark unhold pve-manager

$> apt-get upgrade

Code: 
DONE.
