Proxmox VE 7.1 released!

OK, thanks. Is there any way to fix this? Running apt full-upgrade will uninstall proxmox. In order to receive updates I have to fix this.
Is it OK to remove proxmox and reinstall it?

Most of the time it's better not to do so, especially if one's isn't that experienced with apt yet.

What is the ouput if you try to upgrade one of the available upgrades explicitly, i.e., via:
apt install libpython2.7-minimal

ps. this could require quite a few back and forth messages, I cannot guarantee anything but we already helped other users to fix some similar situations. It probably would be better to open a separate thread though, to avoid crowding the general release thread even more.
