[SOLVED] pve-headers for PBS?

[Klug]

Hello.

I can seem to find pve-headers in pbs-no-subscription repo.
Is it possible to have it in this repo?

Or should I hadd pve-no-subscription repo and install it like this:

apt install pve-headers--$(uname -r)

They are already there, just install as always:

> apt install pve-headers

Well, it can't find it if it's there.

Sorry, the command is:

> apt install pve-headers-5.4

Much better, thank you!

I am about to do the same (I need wireguard).

In pve I see

# aptitude search headers | grep ^i
i  pve-headers - Default Proxmox VE Kernel Headers
i A pve-headers-5.4 - Latest Proxmox VE Kernel Headers
i A pve-headers-5.4.119-1-pve - The Proxmox PVE Kernel Headers

while the metapackage

pve-headers

is missing in

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster pbs-no-subscription

I'm fine with the

apt install pve-headers-5.4

solution, of course, but on question:

the day pbs upgrade to 5.5, and we do a

apt dist-upgrade

, will

pve-headers-5.5

be automatically installed?

thanks.

no. the problem is that pve-headers (the meta package pulling in the default pve-headers-X.Y, which pulls in the latest header package for that kernel series, just like proxmox-ve pulls in the default pve-kernel-X.Y, which pulls in the actual latest kernel package for that kernel series) is part of the proxmox-ve packaging, and thus not (yet) available in the PBS repos..

 

[Fra]

ok, perfect.

thanks for the answer!
