When I run "pve7to8 --full" it gets stuck in a loop reporting:
unknown ID 'almalinux' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
unknown ID 'almalinux' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
unknown ID 'almalinux' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
unknown ID 'almalinux' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
unknown ID 'almalinux' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
unknown ID 'almalinux' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
unknown ID 'almalinux' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
...

But, /etc/os-release shows this:
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"


What /etc/os-release is it reading? It's not the one for the pve server's base OS. And if it's from one of the containers or VM's, why is it reporting it here and how do I get past it?
 
Second time (I believe) I've seen this issue. It is almost certainly a CT. I would be interested to know if this is a privileged one. You could probably ignore the error or backup the CT & then destroy & then upgrade & restore.

Edit: Fount it, see this post.
