Unable to update from 6.4 to 7.2

[AliG]

Hi, I am planning to upgrade 2 live installations of Proxmox 6.4 to 7.2 but before I do, I have setup a local machine, clean install the 6.4 iso and I am having problems to upgrade it to 7.2. If i can't do that successfully here, I won't be able to do it on the live servers.
I am running

apt update
apt dist-upgrade

and I get:

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) and repeat your apt invocation.

W: (pve-apt-hook) If you are unsure why 'proxmox-ve' would be removed, please verify

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

I have read some other topics with the same error but they all had access to the pve6to7 command
in my case, (remember fresh installed) i get

root@pve:~# pve6to7
-bash: pve6to7: command not found

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

There is a comprehensive upgrade guide on the wiki, if you haven't noticed already [1] . According to the wiki the package
linux-image-amd64 can cause the problems you are experiencing. You would need to remove the package before the dist-upgrade like so:

apt remove linux-image-amd64

Then the update to the newest 6.x packages should run just fine. I assume that you do not have pve6to7 installed, because it is not included in the 6.4 installer and can only be fetched via updating to the newest 6.x packages. You should be able to update to the newest 6.x packages with the above steps.

Thanks for the info, I have read those before posting. If it worked I wouldn't have posted

this is the output for this command

Would have been too easy, wouldn't it?

Did you already add the new repositories for 7.x? What is the full output of apt update && apt full-upgrade and what is the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

the defaults that come after clean install

 

[AliG]

and one more question, for myself i have the 7.2 installed and planning to get a license since I am very happy with proxmox.
When I do apt update && apt dist-upgrade and it has a kernel update, do I have to reboot for the new kernel to be activated or is it working similar to live kernels in ubuntu server?
Thanks as well for that

and

the defaults that come after clean install

I just setup a 6.4 instance on my machine and one thing I noticed is that after 6.4 clean install I have the buster repositories, not bullseye.

Did you change those repositories (Debian as well as proxmox) to bullseye already? If yes, did you do an apt update && apt full-upgrade before changing the repositories to bullseye?

 

[AliG]

Yes, after clean install i did apt update && apt full-upgrade and then reboot and went for 2nd time and I get this error.
It has the correct repo right?
Myself I didn't change any repo or setting, I just did the apt update && apt full-upgrade and reboot, if it has changed repo, it was automatically

 

[shanreich]

Yes, after clean install i did apt update && apt full-upgrade and then reboot and went for 2nd time and I get this error.
It has the correct repo right?

Did you configure the correct repository for proxmox? As a default after installation the enterprise repository is configured in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list, you would need to change that to the no-subscription repository (for buster) and then run apt update && apt full-upgrade. After that you should have pve6to7 available.

 

[AliG]

Something like this?

#deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-enterprise
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription

i get on apt full-upgrade

Yea, what I think should work in your case:

• Change the configured repositories for debian back to buster (in the sources.list)
• Configure the buster repositories for proxmox (what you already did from what I can tell)
• Run apt update && apt full-upgrade in order to upgrade to the newest 6.x packages
• Check if you now have pve6to7 available
• Change debian repos to bullseye (check wiki)
• Change proxmox repo to bullseye (check wiki)
• Run apt update && apt full-upgrade again

edit: my sources.list after a fresh 6.4 install looks like this, this might help you:

deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian buster main contrib

deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org buster/updates main contrib

Ok changing back to buster seems to be working, so far installing some updates -will post update when it is done-
does it come by default with buster repo the 6.4? if yes, how did it change to bullseye?

Ever major version of Proxmox is based on a Debian release, so 6 is based on buster and 7 is based on bullseye. This is why you need the buster repositories to be able to upgrade to the newest 6.x packages.

Maybe you already ran the command sed -i 's/buster\/updates/bullseye-security/g;s/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list from the upgrade guide, which would update your sources.list to the bullseye repos?

edit: Also be aware that the line for the security updates changed slightly, so it is not just sufficient to substitute buster with bullseye for the security updates, which is why I included my sources.list so you can just copy it from there.

I will tell you this, yesterday I did it as you say but I had to use that pc for another purpose and today i did all over again from scratch.
Today in this installation, I didn't do the "sed -i 's/buster\/updates/bullseye-security/g;s/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list"
i just did the apt update && apt dist-upgrade and reboot.
I guess I need to do that 2 times?

Yes you usually need to run apt update && apt dist-upgrade before changing anything related to repositories, so you get the newest packages for your current version, since the installation ISOs do not contain the newest version of all packages.

Afterwards you need to update the configuration for debian/proxmox repos and upgrade everything again in order to upgrade from 6 to 7.

This is also why I thought it was really strange that you already have bullseye repos configured, since this should never be the case for 6.x installations, because they are based on buster.

thanks for the help Stefan
Now I have to check on the productive machines how it goes.

and one more question, for myself i have the 7.2 installed and planning to get a license since I am very happy with proxmox.
When I do apt update && apt dist-upgrade and it has a kernel update, do I have to reboot for the new kernel to be activated or is it working similar to live kernels in ubuntu server?
Thanks as well for that

Do you know about this question as well?

Yes, you need to reboot the server in order for the kernel upgrade to be applied.

It has finished installing the updates successfully, I did another reboot and it is now on "6.4-15" and has the pve6to7 command which gives

Now the next step is to do and then apt update && apt full-upgrade?

sed -i 's/buster\/updates/bullseye-security/g;s/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

 

[shanreich]

Yes, but you also need to update the proxmox repository to the bullseye version. After that you should be good to for a full-upgrade.

 

[AliG]

When I did the apt update && apt full-upgrade i got again the same errors
i saw on the pve6to7 log that I needed to change "bullseye-security" which I did only to that, and run again "apt update && apt full-upgrade"
It found lots of updates and now I am installing them
