I have tried installing the qemu agent on my PDC vm running on Proxmox v9.x, but not having any success.

When I run the "apt install qemu-guest-agent" command from a shell on the PDM vm i get this error. "unable to locate package qemu-guest-agent".
Am i correct to assume the repository is missing from the PDM sources list? If so how do I add the correct sources for the qemu-guest-agent package?

Is it a mistake to to add the qemu-guest-agent packe to the PDM vm? I would like to see the IP info in the summary page of the PDM vm.

rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
apt clean
apt update

The above steps complete successfully. Now when I run "apt install qemu-guest-agent"command, I get "Error: dpkg was interrupted, you must mannually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I ran the indicated command successfully, but was unable to capture the results before the VM unexpectedly rebooted.

However I added and started the service for the qemu-guest-agent successfully and it is working now.

Thank you for the helpful responses everyone.
They helped me to resolve this issue.
