Hello
i followed the description there
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_3.x_to_4.0

it would first be nice to get a hint what to answer when the upgrade ask something like
onfiguration file '/etc/default/ipmievd'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** ipmievd (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

then at the end doing the final update upgrade check i got a
# apt-get -f install

The nice part, the homepage in a KVM are still working ;-)

I suggest you first read a bock about Debian - those are basics ...

Second, Proxmox VE does not install that software at all - instead, you installed it manually.
So we assume that you can also update it.
 
I'm also wondering if you have a subscription key, so the enterprise repo is ok, or you don't, and you should then comment that repository and add in /etc/apt/sources.list the "non subscription" repo described in the wiki. Apart from your sesolution/connetivity problems, if you have no subscription and you don't have inerted apropriate Proxmox repo you can't update nor upgrade the pve part.
 
which software do you mean? :confused:

For example apache2-mpm-prefork. Also someone installed:

qemu-system-common qemu-utils seabios sharutils tcl8.5

this is not installed on Proxmox VE, and you should remove it.
Also, someone modified /etc/default/ipmievd, and I assume you have done that?
So you should know what do to with that file - either keep your modifications, or
install the new file.
 
@mmenaz
thanks for your feedback
no i don't have a key
---
the connetivity problem is solved
---
i have done some modification to the sources.list and did not save a backup bevor, so what should be in the
/etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list

Thanks for your help
vincent
 
do you have a enterprise key? if nof go to /etc/apt/sourcelist.conf.de/ edit the file in this dir and recommend the entry with # on start
 
you are welcome, nice day, too...
