[SOLVED] Upgrading 6.x to 7.x

[sg90]

I have updated a few 6.x nodes to 7.x fine.

I have one node that had the PVE Test repo added to test a newer kernel previously.

When trying to update this node I get the message:
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)

I have tried with and without adding the new PVE Test repo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pvetest"

But both still try and remove proxmox-ve

apt full-upgrade --simulate in the attached file

you have (had) some unsupported ceph repository - neither ours nor Debian's repo ever shipped a 15.2.14 package. are you using Ceph on your system?

 

[sg90]

Yes, I run a separate ceph cluster to Proxmox, some nodes I have installed some of the basic CEPH CLI packages via the Offical Ceph repo, I have removed them ceph packages and is now working as expected.

Thanks

 

[sg90]

So I thought it was fixed, but just went to run the upgrade and is the same message.

If I try and remove the ceph-common package it also tries to remove the proxmox-ve package, how can I clean up the old CEPH packages without removing the proxmox-ve package?

 

[sg90]

Okie fixed for real this time with

apt reinstall librados2=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 libradosstriper1=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 ceph-common=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 librbd1=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 python3-cephfs=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 python3-ceph-argparse=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 python3-ceph-common=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 python3-rados=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 python3-rbd=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 python3-rgw=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 libcephfs2=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10 librgw2=15.2.13-pve1~bpo10
