PVE 8 to 9 Upgrade

[gardeningevenings]

Hi,

Having some problems on an 8 to 9 upgrade.

I range pve8to9 and the only warnings were regarding a lack of three quorum providing nodes (however I don't have any clustering setup)

The dist-upgrade failed midway through

root@pve1:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt dist-upgrade
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
Unsatisfied dependencies:
 libhwloc-plugins : Depends: libze1 (>= 1.20.6) but it is not installed
Error: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

When I run apt --fix-broken install I get the following:

(Reading database ... 92536 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../libze1_1.20.6-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libze1:amd64 (1.20.6-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libze1_1.20.6-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libze_loader.so.1', which is also in package level-zero (1.19.2)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libze1_1.20.6-1_amd64.deb
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any help greatly appreciated!

What is "level-zero"? It isn't part of a standard install, so guessing it is a third party package and it conflicts with some Debian files. Maybe remove that until the upgrade is complete. If it was installed from third-party repo you might want to see if there is a version compatible with Debian Trixie.

That's a very good question, I didn't think I'd installed / changed much from the base install - but perhaps I had. Thanks for the direction on this.

In the end I told dpkg to force overwrite

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libze1_1.20.6-1_amd64.deb

Risky, but it worked. I'll look into what this package relates to and see if I can get it removed.
