Proxmox installation of package failed during install

[Arctic]

So I used to have Proxmox 6.4 installed on a server, and I think I might have set it up wrong so I tried to reinstall Proxmox. When I tried to install it again I keep getting an error, however it's not the same exact error every time. I get through the install wizard to set up Proxmox and it starts to install. It gets to about 50%-70% when it starts to install packages. Then at a random % it will say that it failed to install a package. I've gotten all different types of packages every time, ranging from "ceph-common_12.2.11+dfsg1-2.1+b1_amd64.deb", "libhtml-parser-perl_3.72-3+b3_amd64.deb", "gnupg-l10n_2.2.12-1+deb10u1_all.deb", libnl-route-3-200_3.4.0-1_amd64.deb", and many others. I've tried to remake the installation media on the same USB and different USBs and nothing has changed. I've also tried a different M.2 all together and it still gives the same type of error.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Bad install media, or target disk possibly dying. Could also be bad RAM. Re-download the ISO from torrent and try burning it to micro- or full-size SD card, and run memtest86+ for at least 6 hours

I can't torrent in my organization. I know the disk isn't dying, tried multiple disks. Also tried multiple installation medias and it didn't change anything.

Hello,

How did you burn the image into the installation media? We explicitly recommend using `dd` at our documentation [1], some other mechanisms are known to cause issues.

Try installing plain Debian on that server & test outcome. Something seems not right with your HW. Could you share the HW used - maybe this could shed some light on the issue.

I’m out for Christmas right now and won’t be back until 1/6 so it will be a minute as I don’t know the hardware off the top of my head. But once I get back I’ll look into it. I’ll also try to install Debian.

I get the ISO file on the proxmox site and then used Rufus with dd to put it on a USB. I’ve done it previously this way with no problems.
