I just tried to upgrade to the latest version of proxmox from 2.0 stable and getting an error:

aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade

What is going on? Why can't the new kernel not be installed?

Thanks a lot for any help.
 
linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 is not installed by our installer so you have a non standard Proxmox VE system. Ask the guys who installed linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64.
 
also post the output of:

Code:
pveversion -v
