Hello!

I am trying to upgrade from 6.4-15 following this guide. I installed the new repos and now I'm getting the "you are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'. Following the guide, I did
Code:
apt remove linux-image-amd64
But I did it after trying the first apt dist-upgrade.

How can I solve this?

Thanks in advance. I'm not using paid subscription
 
Please provide the current full output in code-tags (not inline-code and definitely not screenshots) each of:
  • pveversion -v
  • apt list --installed | grep linux-image
  • grep -r '' /etc/apt/sources.list* (do not forget the: * at the end!)
  • apt update
  • apt full-upgrade

Hope it helps.
 
You have many duplicate repositories configured. Would highly recommend to clean them up.

But the main problem is your: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proxmox.list. The: pve-no-subscription repository (also duplicate) still points to: buster. So, change it to: bullseye and afterwards run: apt update followed by: apt full-upgrade.

If you then still encounter problems, please provide the full output of: apt update and: apt full-upgrade in code-tags each again.
