Hello,

I bought a server and tried to install Proxmox on Debian 10.
My prozessor is a amd ryzen 5 3600. So I should have enough power.
I added that to my source list:
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian stretch pve-no-subscription
Then I downloaded the key:
wget -q http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
There is no exception in apt-get update/apt-get upgrade/apt dist-upgrade.
But when I try to install proxmox-ve with apt-get install proxmox-ve. There is an exception.

root@Mainserver:~# apt-get install proxmox-ve

Thank you so much for helping. My english is not the best but I hope you can help me.
 
Hi!

If you use Debian 10 Buster you need to install Proxmox VE 6.x, not the old (now End-of-life) Proxmox VE 5.x which based on Debian 9 Stretch.

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian stretch pve-no-subscription

strech is wrong here, needs to be buster

wget -q http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
This needs to be the 6.x key

See: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Buster
