Afternoon,

I posted this in the proxmox 8 thread but it's pushed way down now and I can't figure it out.
For some reason the new kernel won't install.

===| # apt install proxmox-ve |===
Code: 
# dpkg-reconfigure pve-kernel-6.2.16-4-pve
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: pve-kernel-6.2.16-4-pve is broken or not fully installed
root@pve1-cpu1:/boot# apt install proxmox-ve

proxmox-ve is already the newest version (8.0.1).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  dctrl-tools exfat-fuse g++-10 libfmt7 libgs9-common libidn11 libjaeger libnetpbm10 libntfs-3g883 libopts25 libstdc++-10-dev libthrift-0.13.0 libtiff5 libwebp6 libyara4

  python-pastedeploy-tpl telnet
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

Let me know what more info you need. Currently I have it booted manually to the last 5.x kernel from prox7.
CEPH is working no problem.

Thanks!

You can fix the packages:

The related files in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/
pve-kernel-6.2.16-4-pve-xxx...
pve-kernel-6.2-xxx...
proxmox-ve-xxx...

just move the same named files to another directory, after you can issue "apt reinstall" command:

Code: 
$> apt reinstall proxmox-ve
$> apt reinstall pve-kernel-6.2

This will recreate the files in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ - but it will bypass the previous errors, and finish it.
 
But he has installed the kernel-mft-dkms package, that is simply incompatible with 6.2

If he removes that package it should be fixed actually.

Or do you think it's simply stuck somehow there in the directiries?
 
Do I need to move these files?

Once that's moved issue:

apt reinstall proxmox-ve
apt reinstall pve-kernel-6.2
? apt reinstall pve-kernel-6.2.16.4 ?

yes,
These files will be recreated from the apt.

Hi,
please note that your issue here is that the kernel-mft-dkms dkms package is not compatible with this version of the Linux Kernel. You should simply uninstall it (as it is not needed) by running apt purge kernel-mft-dkms. Then reinstall the pve-kernel-6.2 package.

Hi,
please provide some more context, what command are you executing when the error appears? I assume it is during the apt dist-upgrade, correct?

Please make sure the proxmox-kernel-helper package is installed correctly, then rerun the apt dist-upgrade. If that runs without errors, but the old kernel package is still lingering, you can probably remove it via an apt autoremove. Did you follow the steps outlined in the upgrade guide [0], were the latest Proxmox VE 7.4 packages correctly installed prior to upgrade?

Have you tried to install the proxmox-kernel-helper package via apt install proxmox-kernel-helper. Please show the exact commands and output you get, best by pasting it into code tags for better readability.

Don't know if it is the same problem, but kernel-mft-dkms is not on my system. I got the following output:
