[SOLVED] Upgrade from 5 to 6 internal error when starting VMs

[Terrum]

I followed this: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0#In-place_upgrade

Then rebooted machine and tried to start VMs and this error shows:

/usr/bin/kvm: error while loading shared libraries: libtirpc.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
command '/usr/bin/kvm --version' failed: exit code 127
TASK ERROR: internal error: cannot check version of invalid string 'unknown' at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer/Helpers.pm line 114.

Output of pveversion -v:

I guess it didn't correctly install a lot of things for some reason. How can I install the missing files? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Fixed by re-installing each 'not correctly installed' package (libpve-access-control, libpve-common-perl and so on).

Glad you found the solution - please mark the thread as 'SOLVED' - that should help others with similar issues

Thanks!

To add a little more detail, I basically cleared my apt sources and ran apt-get dist-upgrade again.

If everything in pveversion -v output is ok, restart proxmox will fix the problem.
