[oguz]

[badnews]

i'm not sure how you got into this situation but you can try running dpkg --configure -a.

 

[badnews]

The server works about few mounts without updates, then I decide to update the packets, nothing special. Just push update using the GUI, and got this error with packet versions...

dpkg --configure -a does not help

 

[oguz]

just tried upgrade from an earlier version to the latest, and it seems to work fine with the pve-no-subscription repository, so i think something is wrong in your setup.

just to be sure, can you try adding deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pvetest to the repository list, comment no-sub and try updating again?

 

[oguz]

also try apt install --fix-broken

Okey, here is my source.list

dist-upgrade after the same issue

 

[badnews]

also tried:

apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
dpkg -a --configure
apt-get dist-upgrade

The same error

 

[oguz]

check the output of apt-mark showhold to see held packages.. you can apt-mark unhold PKGNAME to unhold a package

 

[badnews]

Maybe I can reinstall proxmox-ve? Configs already inside, reinstall will not take too much time? What you think?

 

[badnews]

Okey! Here is solution!
added - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list with
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-nautilus buster main

done!
Thank you for help, anyway!!!

 

[oguz]

oh yes, i didn't think of that, but i don't see how it solved your problem.

i guess you forgot this while upgrading from 5 to 6?

in any case i'm glad your issue is gone. you can mark the thread as [SOLVED] to help others in similar situation!

 

[sudologic]

Just because the solution here was out of left field... I had this issue, and this was also my solution.

And yes, I had forgotten to add it during the 5->6 upgrade. Luminous was commented, but nautilus was not added.
