I haven't been on this box in a couple of years as I need to upgrade hardware. I finally got around to it and now I am trying to make the 6 to 7 upgrade but am hitting this wall while trying to follow the manual. I know enough about linux and proxmox to be dangerous and that's about it. I think it has something to do with the kernel...?

I run apt update and everything looks fine and then when I try to run apt dist-upgrade I get this...

Code: 
root@pve:~# apt update

Here is my second issue. When I set up this node ages ago I evidently added ceph. I haven't and don't plan on using it but have seen people with struggles in upgrading after purging it. When I run pve6to7 --full I get 2 warnings on ceph. Is this a concern before upgrading?
