Update to 2.2 failed.

[Styg]

Hello
After an update from the latest 1.x version to 2.2-3 with dist-upgrade procedure I get the following erros.

running python post-rtupdate hooks for python3.9...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-amd64:

Any ideas?

Hmm - for completeness sake please post the complete output (in code tags) of:
* `apt update`
* `grep -r '' /etc/apt/sources.list*`

else:

linux-image-amd64 depends on linux-image-5.10.0-15-amd64 (= 5.10.120-1); however:
Package linux-image-5.10.0-15-amd64 is not configured yet.

* linux-image-amd64 (and the one with the ABI version) is the stock debian kernel - PBS pulls in and uses the pve-kernel
There was a change a while ago which resulted in both not being able to be installed side by side - the solution should be:
* removing linux-image-amd64 (`apt remove linux-image-amd64`)
* trying to fix the upgrade (`apt install -f`)

if this does not work - please post complete outputs (in code tags)

I hope this helps!

where do these entries come from? (sarge is a debian distribution from 17 years ago?!)

In any case - try installing `pve-kernel-helper` and as said above remove the stock-debian metapackage `linux-image-amd64` ...

I hope this helps!

Seemingly I have solved the issue. I have moved away all proxmox postinstall scripts.

mv /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/proxmox-boot-sync /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/proxmox-boot-sync.bak
mv /etc/kernel/postinst.d/proxmox-auto-removal /etc/kernel/postinst.d/proxmox-auto-removal.bak
mv /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-proxmox-boot /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-proxmox-boot.bak
mv /etc/grub.d/000_proxmox_boot_header.bak ~

And upgrade finished as expected after that. Server works perfectly.
But it still uses Debian kernel.

# uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 5.10.120-1 (2022-06-09)

Should I change it somehow to pve kernel to avoid update problems in future?

where do these entries come from? (sarge is a debian distribution from 17 years ago?!)

Webmin is web GUI for linux servers, it is quite handy for people not familiar with CLI. And they just never changed the repo name, but it is up-to-date.

Depends - I would recommend switching to pve-kernel (and remove the debian stock kernel, due to the incompatible dependencies):
* we do our testing internally with the pve-kernel - additionally most users are running with it - so if there's an error it's more likely to get noticed before you run into it - with the debian-kernel this is not a given
