Hi,

seems like /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is still locked by some process.
Please post the output of these following commands to investigate this further:

- pveversion -v
- ps aux | grep -P '(apt|dpkg)'
- lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat

So yes, there are still (dpkg) processes running which are locking the file.

What did you do before? Were you trying to upgrade the node (and how, i.e. what commands)? Did you abort or lose connections during the upgrade?
Can you also attach the syslog (journalctl -b >journal.log) and /var/log/apt/term.log?

If it's possible, I'd suggesting simply rebooting the node and then try re-running apt dist-upgrade.
Otherwise, you can kill the other processes using kill -9 3720270 3720196 and then re-running the upgrade step. But rebooting would be the safer option.

Lost connection when updating via command apt-get upgrade

 

[BoosIT]

I decided to update because... I can't log into the web interface. The system is now showing an error filed to start pveproxy.service

 

[cheiss]

The system is now showing an error filed to start pveproxy.service

Can you please provide the exact error as displayed (systemctl status pveproxy.service)?
Also, please attach the syslog (as stated previously) as file. Otherwise it's pretty hard to guess why it fails.
