Package libiscsi7 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Re-run the command excluding the above packages. ( temporary, for testing purpose)

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcpg-dev : Depends: libcpg4 (= 1.4.6-1.1) but it is not going to be installed
libsam-dev : Depends: libsam4 (= 1.4.6-1.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Funny thing, I added pvetest repo and ran this devel install on existing PVE installation

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list
deb [arch=amd64] http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-no-subscription

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
...
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pvetest

Everything is broken now.

I have repeated the steps https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Documentation#Build_instructions on clean Jessie ,with same result.

pveversion
-bash: /usr/bin/pveversion: No such file or directory

Thanks!

those instructions in the readme are for the current master which is based on debian stretch (pve 5.0)
if you want instructions for jessie you have to look in the stable-4 branch
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-comm...02928cc7e7aa86c3b44a05;hb=refs/heads/stable-4

but depending on what you want to develop, maybe it would be better to start directly on stretch

 

[EuroDomenii]

Thanks for the solution.

I want to test btrfs storage integration status https://www.mail-archive.com/search?a=1&l=pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com&haswords=Btrfs&x=13&y=16&from=&subject=&datewithin=1d&date=&notwords=&o=relevance

So, stable-4 is the needed branch.

On the other hand, it's ok to have at the same time active pvetest and pve-no-subscription?

On the ther hand, it's ok to have at the same time active pvetest and pve-no-subscription?

in this case you will get the packages from pve-test because they have generally the higher package versions

 

[EuroDomenii]

It seems that i cannot get rid of

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libcpg-dev : Depends: libcpg4 (= 1.4.6-1.1) but it is not installed
 libsam-dev : Depends: libsam4 (= 1.4.6-1.1) but it is not installed

Any quick tip or i have to dig myself depper?

that's not needed on PVE 4 / Jessie. you only need libcorosync-pve-dev there, it contains the libsam and libcpg headers

I understand now, but the damage was done, I have followed the wrong instruction for Debian Strech pve devel on Jessie.

Trying...

apt-get -f install
apt-get update
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get clean

But I am stuck with...

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libsam4_1.4.6-1.1_amd64.deb
apt-get -f install
