This is my current repository setup.

Its like pve needs to be installed but i cant get past broken packages.

 

[fabian]

as a first step, re-add the repositories for PVE 7 (and its Ceph repositories), run "apt update", and then try "apt install proxmox-ve". please post the full output of both commands!

[forcegc]

I placed these repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib

ran apt update and apt-get update and returned

you have actual error, some wrong file and tried to change to a new major different version that is not bullseye anymore. All in all, fresh iso install and 4min of config and place back your vm via restore.
