Proxmox completely destroyed after upgrade

[LucaStratmann]

Hello,
I just tried upgrading Proxmox from 5.4 to 6. After the upgrade I can't get into the interface and apt upgrade gives me the following error message:
root@ns3002380:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt upgrade -y

Can someone help me?

Hi,

apt upgrade -y

Never use apt upgrade, especially for a major upgrade! A major upgrade pretty much always need to remove packages as a new, incompatible, version or another package replaced it. apt upgrade refuses to do so and makes just issues..
Always use apt full-upgrade (or the alias apt dist-upgrade)

I just tried upgrading Proxmox from 5.4 to 6.

Please checkout the official upgrade how-to ( https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0 ) and follow it as closely (and in order!) as possible before doing a major upgrade.

Hey.
For the upgrade I also use the steps.

Hey.
For the upgrade I also use the steps.

Why is then an apt upgrade in your post? And a failed dependency because pve-libspice-server1 from PVE 5.x wasn't removed to be replaced bylibspice-server1 from 6.x?

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pve-libspice-server1 : collides with: libspice-server1
E: Damaged packages

Also, please avoid adding the -y parameter, rather confirm manually what is proposed to you.

Anyway, I'd ensure you have the correct package-repository sources list and post the output of:
apt update

Also, is some of PVE still around? If so post an pveversion -v to get an overview of the state you're currently in.

You have still a strech repository configured, comment that one out please.

Then rerun apt update and try: apt install libspice-server1
If that works out try: apt install proxmox-ve

You have stretch somewhere in your sources.list.

Please check the content in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

[t.lamprecht]

Looks OK, but due to proxmox-ve being partially removed the apt hook failed, please do:
rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10pveapthook and retry the installation of libspice-server1. The hook will be reinstalled once proxmox-ve is installed again.

Thanks, it worked.
