Hi!

I just did a clean reinstall to PVE 7.4.18 to recover from a OS disk failure (using config file backup from PVE 7.4.x).

Following the PVE 7 to 8 upgrade guides, the dist-upgrade fails with the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpve-common-perl : Breaks: qemu-server (< 8.0.1) but 7.4-6 is to be installed
pve-qemu-kvm : Breaks: qemu-server (<= 8.0.6) but 7.4-6 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

I dont have ceph, clustering or anything out of the ordinary. No packages from other repos.
pveversion: pve-manager/7.4-18/b1f94095 (running kernel: 5.15.158-1-pve)


Pve7to8:

I only have a single apt source file /etc/apt/sources.list with content:

deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib
deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription
# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib

What to do?
 
Same here while updating an existing working PVE system to 8.2. PBS upgrade went smoothly (an hour before) but trying to upgrade PVE to 8.2 leads to dependency issues.

Bash: 
The following packages have been kept back:
  libpve-access-control libpve-cluster-api-perl libpve-cluster-perl libpve-common-perl libpve-guest-common-perl libpve-http-server-perl
  libpve-storage-perl libsemanage-common nfs-common open-iscsi passwd proxmox-ve pve-container pve-ha-manager pve-manager pve-qemu-kvm qemu-server uidmap

I found python3.9 to be locally installed but the problem persist after removing that python3.9 and python3.9-minimal. I was however able to install some packages after doing that. Not sure if this was a good idea but I can always rollback a snapshot made before the upgrade. These packages are currently marked local:

Bash: 
# apt list --installed | grep local]

For me these commands did the job:

Bash: 
wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/bookworm/pvetest/binary-amd64/proxmox-backup-client_3.2.5-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i proxmox-backup-client_3.2.5-1_amd64.deb
apt -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade

Here the same but not with pbs but PVE so how to solve this issue for proxmox upgrade from 7 to 8
 
For me libzstd1 was not on the right version (I had just run apt update && apt upgrade with a clean reboot prior and was running 7.4-18. I had to run the following to get proxmox-backup-client installed and then was able to continue with the upgrade to 8.x

Code: 
wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/bookworm/pvetest/binary-amd64/proxmox-backup-client_3.2.5-1_amd64.deb
apt install ./proxmox-backup-client_3.2.5-1_amd64.deb
apt --fix-broken install
apt dist-upgrade

It seems like there is no repository for Debian updates (only for security updates), i.e. you can try adding:
Code: 
deb http://mirror.linux.org.au/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib

Thanks Fiona, even including additional sources full-upgrade is prompting to remove varios PVE packages
