[SOLVED] Upgrade PVE 6.4-13 to PVE 7 Failure

[NotLarry]

Trying to upgrade from PVE 6.4-13 to PVE 7 and fails on apt dist-upgrade - This system was originally installed from pve5 and has been upgraded from pve5 to pve6 in the past.
Ceph is currently updated to octopus

I ran
#apt update
#apt dist-upgrade
#ceph osd set noout
#pve6to7 --full (see attached)
#sed -i 's/buster\/updates/bullseye-security/g;s/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
#apt update
#apt dist-upgrade
At this point it fails with the following warning;

W: (pve-apt-hook) !! WARNING !!
W: (pve-apt-hook) You are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you really want to permanently remove 'proxmox-ve' from your system, run the following command
W: (pve-apt-hook) touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
W: (pve-apt-hook) run apt purge proxmox-ve to remove the meta-package
W: (pve-apt-hook) and repeat your apt invocation.
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you are unsure why 'proxmox-ve' would be removed, please verify
W: (pve-apt-hook) - your APT repository settings
W: (pve-apt-hook) - that you are using 'apt full-upgrade' to upgrade your system
E: Sub-process /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook returned an error code (1)
E: Failure running script /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook

I am attaching the following
pve6to7 --full output (prior to failure)
output of apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y
pve6to7 --full after failed upgrade
pveversion -v after failed upgrade

Have u checked Troubleshooting section of the migration tutorial: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_6.x_to_7.0#Troubleshooting ?

I did, but "then one or more of the currently existing packages cannot be upgraded since the proper Bullseye repository is not configured" does not make sense to me.
A diff of the old sources.list and the new is below and it looks correct.

< deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
< deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib
---
> deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
> deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib

< deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription
---
> deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

< deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
---
> deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib

Paste the content of: /etc/apt/sources.list

by the way... do u have anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?

 

[NotLarry]

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list was still pointing at buster. I changed that to bullseye and the upgrade is progressing.
I am confident this can be marked solved, thank you!
