Maybe it can help someone, my problem was really strange
so the answer came from :

pveversion --verbose

it shown that no proxmox-ve was installed I thought that this is really really strange and not normal ...
so i installed it with a simple apt install proxmox-ve

run again the pve5to6 script and it was perfectly working
