[SOLVED] pve-firewall blocking upgrade

[Henrique]

Hey all,

I'm trying to upgrade my Proxmox install, that is running 4.3-9. After the `apt-get upgrade` command, I noticed that two packages weren't installed: `pve-firewall` and `pve-manager`. I tried to upgrade the `pve-manager` first, but it said it was dependent of `pve-firewall`, so I tried to upgrade it.

However, it dumped an error:

Setting up pve-firewall (2.0-33) ...
Job for pve-firewall.service failed. See 'systemctl status pve-firewall.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
dpkg: error processing package pve-firewall (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of pve-manager:
pve-manager depends on pve-firewall; however:
  Package pve-firewall is not configured yet.

So I checked the firewall log, using `systemctl status pve-firewall.service -l`. And this was the error:

Feb 06 11:29:39 xxxx systemd[1]: Reloading Proxmox VE firewall.
Feb 06 11:29:40 xxxx pve-firewall[9338]: Attempt to reload PVE/LXC.pm aborted.

Feb 06 11:29:40 xxxx systemd[1]: Reload failed for Proxmox VE firewall.

I don't use the pve-firewall at all, does someone have any idea how can I fix this?

EDIT: I also just noticed that Proxmox is not listening on the web interface and I can't get it to start

Thanks

Ok. I should have searched a little more first. Found the solution in https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/upgrade-failed-cannot-continue.27316/.

Basically a `apt-get dist-upgrade` solved everything
