Hi,

I am trying to upgrade in-place from 5.4.114-1-pve to 6.0 following the instructions at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0.
It falls over (or more accurately, does absolutely nothing) when I run apt-get dist-upgrade.

List-upgradable doesn't show the upgrade packages.
Code:
apt list --upgradeable

My sources.list.
Code:
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/corosync-3/ stretch main
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian buster pve-no-subscription

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free

I've tried various combinations or removal or the other repositories, apt update and apt clean but it does nothing.

The system was upgraded originally from bare debian (as opposed to an ISO install) - does the upgrade process even work from a debian-based install or does it require it to have been installed from ISO originally?

The upgrade works also if you've installed PVE on top of Debian Buster.

Did you run `apt-get update` before running `apt-get dist-upgrade`?
(if yes please also post this output)
 
Yes, this is what it gives me
Code:
root@debian:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-get update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease
Hit:5 http://download.proxmox.com/debian/corosync-3 stretch InRelease
Hit:6 http://download.proxmox.com/debian buster InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
 
please post the output of `pveversion -v` (on a hunch I guess you are already on PVE 6)
 
I am an idiot, I am already on 6.4, haha. /thread
Sorry guys, & thanks Stoiko.
