I am attempting to bring a very old pve node up to date from proxmox 5 to 8. I am using the official guides available here.
5 to 6 was successful and stable. 6 to 7 failed, and I think it is because I forgot to reboot after apt update and apt dist-upgrade before then updating my repos and following the rest of the directions to go to 7.
As a result, my proxmox-ve and pve-manager versions are out of sync:
pveversion -v
I would like to undo the steps to upgrade to 7, fully fix my 6.4 install, then start over with the 6 to 7 upgrade. Unfortunately, reverting my repos to buster and update/dist-upgade does not work. It fails telling me there are dependencies that can't be installed and tries to remove a ton of pve/proxmox packages that look critical to me:
apt update
apt dist-upgrade
apt --fix-broken install
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt and /etc/apt/* source list outputs
