Hello!

I have legacy Debian 9 with Proxmox5 and I'm trying to upgrade it to Buster and Proxmox6. I'm following this document https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0 but every time I got:

Code: 
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7BF2812E8A6E88E0
W: Failed to fetch http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/buster/InRelease  The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7BF2812E8A6E88E0
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

when apt update executed.

I have downloaded proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg key to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ but it didn't help. There is the result of sha256sum on this file:

Code: 
2781fd6fdcc63a95576bdbf3b95bbf21fac3ea330ad6a4311d4dfec4016ac02e  proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg

I'm using no-subscription apt repository. This is the content of the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list :

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

Snippet of apt-key list:

Code: 
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
-------------------------------------------------

Did I miss something? Could you please help me to solve this issue?

should solve your problem. So after an "apt-get update" the error should be gone.

But really, with such an old version, a new installation with Proxmox 8 and restoring backups would be the faster and cleaner way.

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately it is not possible to use a fresh Proxmox 8 installation. I have a multiple legacy nodes and I need to update them one by one.

I have executed
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7BF2812E8A6E88E0

but I got:

Code: 
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.rl1FNxoAHM/gpg.1.sh --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7BF2812E8A6E88E0
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=02)
gpg: keydb_get_keyblock failed: Value not found
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=02)
gpg: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.rl1FNxoAHM/pubring.gpg: copy to '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.rl1FNxoAHM/pubring.gpg.tmp' failed: Invalid packet
gpg: error writing keyring '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.rl1FNxoAHM/pubring.gpg': Invalid packet

I tested this here with an Proxmox VE 5.x, the sources.list must be changed because Debian Stretch is archived.
https://www.debian.org/distrib/archive

Code: 
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian stretch-proposed-updates main contrib
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription

Code: 
apt update

If you get an apt key error, you must install dirmngr first:
Code: 
apt install dirmngr -y
After you can add the apt key:
Code: 
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0E98404D386FA1D9

After upgrade your current 5.x PVE, and everything works fine you can beginn to Upgrade to PVE 6.x with this sources.list:

Code: 
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription

thanks Fireon! Solved, apt update works and I'm able to perform apt dist-upgrade now :)
