[SOLVED] pve 6 to 7 and ceph-common issue

[RobFantini]

I saw someone post similar in the German forum ---

attempting upgrade from 6.4 to 7:

apt dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ceph-common : Depends: python-cephfs (= 12.2.11+dfsg1-2.1+b1) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: python-prettytable but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: python-rados (= 12.2.11+dfsg1-2.1+b1) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: python-rbd (= 12.2.11+dfsg1-2.1+b1) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: python-requests but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

for now I did this

apt upgrade proxmox-ve

any ideas on how to fix the issue?

also this is a standalone system that does not use ceph

 

[RobFantini]

so i went and removed pve , installed bullseye rebooted and installed pve . so all is working.

the issue started with the hold of ceph-common .

our other stand alone system had no issue with pve6 to pve7 when ceph-common was un held .
