You got your repositories mixed up (PVE is on Buster, but Debian is still on Stretch).

Maybe take a look into this:

Thanks for your reply could you please tell me how where do you see that ? or how did you know that?

For sure I am going to read the page carefully.

again thanks a list for your help...

In your first screenshot there are 4 lines (forget the blue ones they're just comments). The first three are for the Debian-updates (debian.org), the fourth is for Proxmox (proxmox.com).

Debian is the baseinstall of your server and Proxmox adds to that their stuff. Both need to be on the same version of Debian (so either all "Stretch" for PVE 5.x or all "Buster" for PVE 6.x). Are you updating your current (5.x) version or upgrading to 6.x? If only updating change "buster" to "stretch"in the fourth line. If you want to upgrade (which I assume) follow the doucument.

That is true I made the mistake I was suppose to add this :

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

But made the mistake and I used a wrong one do you think If I replace with the above link it will work?

Please read the documents. The boys (and girls?) at Proxmox put time and effort in them to make the upgrade as smooth as possible for us.

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Category:HOWTO

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0

PVE5 > Debian 9 "Stretch"
PVE6 > Debian 10 "Buster
PVE7 > Debian 11 "Bullseye"

You can't directly upgrade to PVE7 from PVE5. You need to upgrade to PVE6 first and then to PVE7.

Totally agreed I was not sure what to read exactly since I am a bit new with ProxMox that is why I am keep asking. Indeed the documentations are really clear detailed.

Good luck upgrading and let us know the outcome.

Hmm, I'm not sure.

Did you change anything in the /etc/apt/sources.list (first screenshot)?

If not, please do the following:

- in the fourth line change "buster" in "stretch".
- then do a regular update to get PVE5 at the latest level
- try pve5to6 again
