When I try ton install pre-container, I have this message

I hope some one can help me

Thanks

Lots of post on this forum warn against using apt upgrade. Make sure the apt update did not give any errors or warnings. Then use the official instruction and run apt dist-upgrade: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#system_software_updates or use the Proxmox web GUI to do the update.

Update just went smooth here. What is the output of apt update? Did you install non-standard packages?

g4fa · Tuesday at 21:49

Hi

No non-standard package

This one looks different from mine: Hit:3 http://security.debian.org trixie-security InRelease but yours seems to match the Proxmox manual. Sorry, I don't know what might be wrong.

You think I need to reinstall the node ?

This may be worth attention from PVE developers. The isc-dhcp-client package is marked as depreciated and is being replaced by another package name.
Perhaps, there is a difference in Debian repository context/updates

This output is kinda garbled but it seems like you have not configured the base debian repos. Do that, then try the commands again but individually this time.

lanetue · 2025-11-20T11:42:21+0100

Thank you so much, that's exactly what was needed!
Everything is OK now, proxmox is up to date
