Hello, I've had some issues while upgrading to v8 from v7. I was able to start the upgrade and it would fail with a message about trying to uninstall PVE. Idiot me followed the instructions in the console and actually ran the remove commands. I looked up after that there is a note in the install page on the wiki that says it can show up and how to deal with it. Anyways, after that, it allowed me to proceed with the v8 installation. After it completed, I noticed that all of the VMs and CTs on that node showed a gray question mark. Thinking it needed to be rebooted, i did so and nothing changed when the node booted up. I've tried a number of posts on the forum and so far nothing. When I try running apt dist-upgrade I get :
Ive tried looking into some of these errors but cannot find any remedy for them. I believe this is a direct result of the proxmox-ve removal, but if I try apt install proxmox-ve, I get :
I can access the shell from the other node in my cluster (still on v7), but as far as a web interface, I have none. To me, it looks as if it needs proxmox-kernel-helper to be installed, but I can't install that because it needs it to install itself.
Any help is much appreciated!
