Hi!

I'm trying to upgrade Proxmox (5.4-2 to 6.x) now that I finally have physical access to my server again. I'm following the upgrade procedure (in place upgrade) from the wiki but I'm running into dependencies issues I don't know how to resolve.

I've backed up my VMs and the /etc/ folder just in case. The pve5to6 command only warns of VMs that are still running, other checks pass. This is a standalone node, not in a cluster.

I don't have a subscription, and the only repositories configured are in my /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Stretch - all packages are up to date:
Code: 
root@vroem:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib

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

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

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

I've tried manually installing cryptsetup-run and pve-cluster in the hopes of getting some more info to no avail. apt --fix-broken install and dpkg --configure -a did not do anything. It seems to me manually installing these packages or different versions of the dependencies might help, but I don't want to make the situation any worse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I also checked that no packages were being held, both with apt-mark showhold and dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

hi,

could you try without the buster-updates repository?
 
what is the result of "apt-cache policy crypsetup-run" or "apt-cache policy pve-cluster" ?
It's like it don't see new versions, that's pretty strange. (or maybe a depend of depend of depend don't want to update)

you could try to install with "apt install crpysetup-run", then see if some others depend won't install, try to install depend with apt install,.... until you find the first depend that it's not working.

I did try to manually install them to check if there were any dependency errors but I simply receive the same error as when running the apt dist-upgrade:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cryptsetup-run : Breaks: cryptsetup (< 2:2.0.3-1) but 2:1.7.3-4 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@vroem:~#

Description of the cryptsetup-run package:
Code: 
This is a transitional dummy package to get upgrading systems to install the
cryptsetup package. It can safely be removed once no other package depends on
it.

So I checked apt-cache policy cryptsetup and found there's an update available, upon updating manually it states it's missing a dependency (cryptsetup-initramfs), upon trying to install that:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

                        Depends: initramfs-tools (>= 0.129) but it is not going to be installed or
                                 linux-initramfs-tool
                        Recommends: console-setup but it is not going to be installed
                        Recommends: kbd but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@vroem:~#

Seem to have gone full circle, I guess that's what the cryptsetup-run package is normally for :)

I was able to simulate initramfs-tools installation with apt install -s initramfs-tools

Perhaps I should install initramfs-tools and ignore dependencies for cryptsetup-run?
