Hello,

Please use code blocks and share the exact command(s) you used. I'd try this
Bash: 
apt clean
apt install -f
apt -U dist-upgrade
If this still fails you might have network issues (E1000E?) or perhaps even defective memory.

That is not a lzma archive. Your system is trying to use lzma. Try installing the 'xz-utils' package, but I think your machine is pretty deeply broken.

Code: 
root@c7:~# ar t /var/cache/apt/archives/pve-firmware_3.18-4_all.deb
debian-binary
control.tar.xz
data.tar.xz
root@c7:~#

Edit: A reboot fixed it, yay!
 
Perfect! after another reload ( just for fun ) of all node, My machine is very mini. It is very " personal". In reality is just a little nas to improve my skill on proxmox
