Good Morning/Afternoon.

I have encountering an issues after updating proxmox with apt.

I am seeing the following in the webui

Code: 
usr/bin/kvm: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgfrpc.so.0: undefined symbol: dict_getn
command '/usr/bin/kvm --version' failed: exit code 127
TASK ERROR: Detected old QEMU binary ('unknown', at least 3.0 is required)

and this in the console

Code: 
root@pve:~# kvm
kvm: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgfrpc.so.0: undefined symbol: dict_getn
root@pve:~#

I have tried to reinstall without any luck.

apt install --reinstall pve-qemu-kvm libgfrpc0

I find the following in the journal will trying to start a vm

Code: 
Apr 21 12:01:32 pve pvedaemon[3345]: <root@pam> starting task UPID:pve:00029FE5:0001D517:6625385C:qmstart:1035:root@pam:

Apr 21 12:01:32 pve pvedaemon[3345]: <root@pam> end task UPID:pve:00029FE5:0001D517:6625385C:qmstart:1035:root@pam: Detected old QEMU binary ('unknown', at least 3.0 is required)

I'm at a loss at what to look for next or try, any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you
 
I wasn't able to find a solution to the problem so I did a reinstall of Proxmox.

I backup/restored the configuration as outlined here, https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Cluster_File_System_(pmxcfs)#_recovery

I was pleasantly surprised everything just worked after the restore, I was prepared for a configuration fight.

this are now the configuration versions

apt upgrade was your problem.
NEVER do apt upgrade, ALWAYS do apt dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade
doing apt upgradewill break things as it doesnt update all dependencies and other things.
 
Good to know, thank you for that bit of information I didn't realize that apt update could of been the issue.

Click to expand...
"apt upgrade" is the problem, not "apt update"

apt update is to update th packages list

apt upgrade, upgrade only installed packages but don't install newer dependencies

apt dist-upgrade|full-upgrade upgrade installed packages and install newer dependencies.




if you are not sure,you can also use the GUI, it's doing it fine ;)
 
I don't suppose there is any way to fix this? I want to avoid a fresh install as I've got an Home Assistant VM that I can't create a backup of because it shows the same error
 
1.uninstall proxmox-ve
touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
apt purge proxmox-ve
2.check QEMU emulator version no error
qemu-system-x86_64 --version
3.uninstall the old kvm version
apt remove --purge qemu-kvm qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils libglusterfs0
4.install proxmox-ve,it will autoinstall the current kvm version
apt install proxmox-ve
 
touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
apt purge proxmox-ve
