Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up proxmox on an existing debian 10 install. (Need to do this to have the machine also available for some other stuff for now)
I can not get past following error:

Preparing to unpack .../proxmox-ve_6.1-2_all.deb ...
Unpacking proxmox-ve (6.1-2) ...
Setting up pve-manager (6.1-5) ...
Job for pvestatd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status pvestatd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
dpkg: error processing package pve-manager (--configure):
 installed pve-manager package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of proxmox-ve:
 proxmox-ve depends on pve-manager; however:
  Package pve-manager is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package proxmox-ve (--configure):

Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.5-2) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 pve-manager
 proxmox-ve
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

In other thread I found that uninstalling and reinstalling **pve-manager** solved this situation. Have tried that but for me it does not solve this situation.

Any idea how to solve this?
Many thanks!

Hi,

are the files /etc/hosts /etc/hostname correct configured?

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for your reply.
Problem was indeed in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname.

Can you confirm please:
** Can you give _any name_ to a proxmox machine?**
Meaning that you could use your own naming convention.
(I have solved the issue in the mean time, but part of the solution was to use a name like pve76 or pve12)

Kind regards.
Erwin

You can use all names which are supported by default DNS.
And in a cluster, the name must be unique.
