Hello,

I am attempting to upgrade from PVE 6.7 to 7 an am running into the following error when running `apt dist-upgrade`:
Code: 
root@proxmox:~# apt dist-upgrade

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpve-common-perl : Breaks: qemu-server (< 7.0-19) but 6.4-2 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

While trouble shooting, I ran `apt upgrade` which appeared to upgrade most of my packages, but now have the following response when I run again:
Code:

Please let me know if there are any other outputs required, I have tried following through several other similar installation issue threads with no luck.

Thanks!
 
Hi,
what if you try the following?
Code: 
apt -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes install qemu-server libgnutls30=3.7.1-5+deb11u2 libgnutls-dane0=3.7.1-5+deb11u2
Did you ever upgrade gnutls packages manually or from a different repository?

At some point about a year ago we did attempt to install some other repository packages.

What is the output of dpkg-query --list wget libldap-2.4-2 libgnutls30? To me, it seems like you have quite a few packages from Debian Sid installed (EDIT: or at least newer versions than currently in the Bullseye repository). Downgrading a Debian (and by transitivity a Proxmox VE) installation is generally not supported. The safer and easier option is to re-install after having restore-tested backups of course.

After your note about the packages from Debian Sid, I found this post about how to revert to the Buster repository, which I then updated for Bullseye (searching for "/now" in the installed packages and replacing "buster" with "bullseye" in the preferences file":
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/539501/how-remove-sid-unstable-repositories

Then running `apt dist-upgrade` does a successful downgrade of the Sid packages and successfully upgrades to PVE 7!

To wrap it up, I then removed the preferences file and ran apt dist-upgrade again and it was able to upgrade all the security packages.

I now have a successful install, thank you very much for your help!

This problem has been around me for quite a few months so I'm replying this post as it appeared the first in Google search.

The root problem is that the package pve-lxc (any version till now) depends on libgnutlsxx28 which has been apparently replaced by libgnutls30 in upstream debian. A number of other packages (not a lot) now depend on libgnutls30 so you have to avoid upgrading/installing these packages in order to install/keep pve-lxc which is an essential component for the entire Proxmox. And if you've already have libgnutls30 installed, you can try to downgrade it and all its dependencies, without upgrading the whole system.

I have no idea why the dependency list of pve-lxc has not been updated to allow both old and new versions, or whether it's compatible with the new libgnutls30 at all. Now every apt-get upgrade showing me 50+ blocked upgrades really frustrates me, while a modification of the dependencies of pve-lxc could be a dirty fix.

The issue in this thread that there were packages from Debian Bookworm or Sid installed on the system. Proxmox VE 7 is only intended to run on Debian Bullseye. Your issue might be different.

I don't see any problem with libgnutls30 being installed on my setup. In fact, it's a dependency of libgnutlsxx28:
Code: 
root@pve701 ~ # apt show libgnutlsxx28 
Package: libgnutlsxx28
Version: 3.7.1-5+deb11u2
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Source: gnutls28
Maintainer: Debian GnuTLS Maintainers <pkg-gnutls-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 84.0 kB
Depends: libgnutls30 (= 3.7.1-5+deb11u2), libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcc-s1 (>= 3.0), libstdc++6 (>= 5)

What exactly is the issue you are facing, i.e. why can't you install libgnutls30? Please also provide the output of pveversion -v.

libgnutlsxx28 is already the newest version (3.7.3-4+b1).
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

$ apt-cache policy libgnutls30

OK seems it's been quite a time that I wasn't able to describe the problem clearly. Yes I have been mixing Proxmox with Debian Bookworm and it seems that libgnutlsxx28 has already been removed from upstream. So it's neither possible to install Proxmox on a new Bookworm installation without libgnutlsxx28, nor to upgrade libgnutls30 to newer versions, which blocks a number of other packages.

If pve-lxc is compatible with libgnutls30 alone, marking the dependency as "libgnutlsxx28 | libgnutls30" could solve the problem. If not, that could be a problem sooner or later.
 
PVE 7.x is not compatible with Bookworm - it's based on Debian Bullseye.
 
Debian Bookworm is not even in its initial freeze period yet, see here. Proxmox VE 8.0 will be based on it, after Bookworm has been released (likely some time in summer/autumn 2023).
