Scary Message when running apt-get dist-upgrade

[Imad Daou]

Hey guy, I was updating PVE 8 to latest and that's what I got while updating the system

While using

apt-get dist-upgrade

Then the system showed me the following message:

W: (pve-apt-hook) !! WARNING !!
W: (pve-apt-hook) You are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you really want to permanently remove 'proxmox-ve' from your system, run the following command
W: (pve-apt-hook)     touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
W: (pve-apt-hook) run apt purge proxmox-ve to remove the meta-package
W: (pve-apt-hook) and repeat your apt invocation.
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you are unsure why 'proxmox-ve' would be removed, please verify
W: (pve-apt-hook)     - your APT repository settings
W: (pve-apt-hook)     - that you are using 'apt full-upgrade' to upgrade your system
E: Sub-process /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook returned an error code (1)
E: Failure running script /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook

But when using

aptitude -V safe-upgrade

was fine and the system was upgraded without any issues.

it means you have a package conflict with something you installed after the system was first deployed.

the package(s) in question are listed elsewhere in the output you didnt copy. the corrective action depends on what they are.
