I don't see the Debian repositories here, which might explain why packages are being kept back.

You need both the Proxmox and the Debian repositories at the same time. If you have not used them together, that would explain the problem.

Thanks, after that I backed up the machines and set up Proxmox 7. Backups restored and backups created again. Afterwards, Proxmox 8 was installed and the backups were restored again. And everything is working.
