Upgrade v6 to v7 undefined state

[mcflux101]

Hi

I'm a bit lost. I executed the upgrade like described on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_6.x_to_7.0 and followed most of the steps (at least the ones i could)
At some point I got a suspicios message that it wants to remove proxmox-ve and i have to type touch "please-allow-remove-proxmox" or something like that, I continued becasue i thought thats part of the flow.

Not it seems thatI have only my proxmox on the file system and there is nothinginstalled. I cannot execute pveversion nor cant I install proxmox-ve again. Im getting the error it depends on packages and does not install them:

root@SRV-PROXMOX:/etc# apt install proxmox-ve

I added the pve-no-subscription repo tothe configuration for bullseye:

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

and now I really dont know how to proceed.

Thanks in advance for the help, I relly appreciate it.

You've added the PVE8 repo, not the one for PVE7. And there are still PVE6 repos.
Buster = Debian 10 = PVE 6.
Bullseye = Debian 11 = PVE 7.
Bookwork = Debian 12 = PVE 8.

Your repos are a total mess. There shouldn't be any "buster" or "bookworm" repos configured.

Well didnt understand that those are the versions of proxmox. It didnt work out of the box and I tried to fix it. thats probalby wha its a mess. Removed the v6 and v8 and will try it again.


Now that I removed all other sources, Im getting this when trying to install proxmox-ve:

root@xxx:/etc# apt install proxmox-ve

You probably now got packages from different Debian versions installed that won't fit together. Not sure how to fix this, but as apt complains about a ceph package and you previously got two different ceph repos configured, that are now missing, I would try to remove the installed ceph packages before trying to install the proxmox-ve package. Maybe it might also help to add the correct PVE 7 ceph repo. Previously you got the ceph repos for PVE 6 + PVE 8 with the ceph repo for PVE 7 missing. And in case ceph was installed, did you also follow this from your linked upgrade guide?:

• Hyper-converged Ceph: upgrade the Ceph Nautilus cluster to Ceph 15.2 Octopus before you start the Proxmox VE upgrade to 7.0. Follow the guide Ceph Nautilus to Octopus

I installed Ceph only because if exactly that phrase. But I have only one disk where I could let Ceph work on. So I couldnt configure Ceph to the end. I decided to continue to upgrade anyway.. Since Ceph is not necessary to run the Proxmox, I assumed why should it be necessary just for the upgrade then.

I actually dont know how to remove ceph without the UI. It does not seem to be that easy (had a quick look online, but they explainit with the UI). Cant I just backup the pve files and install the v6 and retry the upgrade?
