I am unable to update my proxmox. I have searched for fix actions, but have only found issue of incorrect apt sources, but my sources are reflecting the correct Debian version. I am running Debian 10 and my source lists are buster sources. I did not upgrade from PVE 5 to 6 that I can remember, I believe that it was Debian 9 (stretch) and installed PVE 6, but the debian box upgraded to 10 (if I am remembering correctly, but I could be wrong). I don't run ceph or anything besides the defaults, but based on one forum I updated the ceph repository. that did not work, I feel like the answer is staring me in the face, but unable to see it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Please post full output of apt update and apt dist-upgrade --dry-run as well :)
Here are the 2 outputs as requested. I put the dist-upgrade in a txt document (it stated it was too long). I have been on and off with trying to fix it ( I guess lazy would be better wording) and I have a lot of packages that need to be updated.

Code:

Hi,

Thanks for the output :)


since you are using Proxmox VE then you don't need Debian kernels because you use Proxmox kernel.

Please uninstall the stock Debian kernel because the upgrade pulls in stock Debian kernel-firmware, which conflicts with the Proxmox VE provided firmware packages that are required by proxmox-ve package.

Bash:
apt remove linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64 linux-image-amd64

Then try to update/upgrade your node

Bash:
apt update && apt dist-upgrade

Everything worked thank you for the help. I was able to update, but after i updated I did a full reboot I still have the images when running dpkg. Should I remove the debian sources in the apt/sources.list? I have not made any changes to the sources list and this is the first time I have had this error, before and if debian image is causing the image will it not just keep happening? Image 4.19.0-6/8/9 are installed should they not be removed?
