[SOLVED] Upgrade issue 6.4 to 7.1, dependencies

[Olaf Brenn]

This is a clone of: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-ve-7-1-released.99847/page-8

Hi there, I am not sure if this issue appears somewere else. I updated my Proxmox from 6.4 to 7.1 today. Worked fine but I do get the following error
root@pve2:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

There is no way to solve this. All other source list are disabled except the source.list as follows:

deb [arch=amd64] http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

Is there any idea how to get rid of that packages?
Thanks

Hi,

Hi there, I am not sure if this issue appears somewere else. I updated my Proxmox from 6.4 to 7.1 today.

Did you follow the Proxmox VE 6 to 7 upgrade guide for this [1]? The upgrade seems to have been successful, however, I just want to ensure you followed the guide because the reason for your current issues is the use of apt upgrade instead of apt dist-upgrade.

root@pve2:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt upgrade

You should always use apt dist-upgrade to update a Proxmox system for this exact reason. apt upgrade will not automatically remove old packages and will skip upgrades in case an old package prevents it from doing so. apt dist-upgrade (or equally, apt full-upgrade) will automatically remove old, conflicting packages in order to perform an upgrade, if necessary.

Could you run the following command and see if it resolves the issue?

apt update && apt dist-upgrade

[1] https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_6.x_to_7.0

 

[Olaf Brenn]

this was exactly the problem - I used apt-get upgrade.

apt update && apt dist-upgrade:

Shall I remove proxmox and reinstall it?

[dylanw]

Shall I remove proxmox and reinstall it?

I wouldn't do this in case the system gets really messed up, unless you mean a fresh install, in which case, whatever you prefer.

If you'd rather not perform a fresh install, could you post:

• All of your apt sources: cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
• The output of: apt update
• The output of: apt dist-upgrade --dry-run

 

[Olaf Brenn]

[dylanw]

Is this node part of a cluster? Is Ceph currently in use? I believe it's old Ceph packages (for which no repository is configured) that are keeping the update back.

If Ceph isn't in use, you can simply just add a newer repository, then run apt update and upgrade. Following the upgrade, you can uninstall Ceph in that case:

# Add ceph repo
echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-octopus bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list

# update
apt update

# test upgrade
apt dist-upgrade --dry-run

# if all good, upgrade
apt dist-upgrade

If Ceph is in use, the process might be more difficult.

As an aside, you also have the pve-no-subscription repository configured twice.

 

[Olaf Brenn]

Thanks Dylan - that solved my problem. All is in place now. Ceph is not in use.

 

[dylanw]

Happy to help! Would you mind marking the thread as solved so that others can find a solution easier?

 

[Olaf Brenn]

sure, thanks again for your assistance
