Possibly an issue with the libpve-notify-perl:amd64 package?
 
When upgrading, it wants to remove pve-manager and proxmox-ve

After removing it and then retrying the update, the following error comes up when trying to reinstall pve-manager

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pve-container : Depends: proxmox-backup-client (>= 3.2.5-1) but 3.2.3-1 is to be installed

In another thread it was recommended to run this: rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*. I've tried this and there has been no change.
 
same here, tried a manual apt update && apt upgrade, did install some packages. Did a reboot but still the PM wants to remove pve-manager and proxmox-ve

same here, tried a manual apt update && apt upgrade, did install some packages. Did a reboot but still the PM wants to remove pve-manager and proxmox-ve

Never run "apt upgrade". This won't fix dependencies and break stuff.

When upgrading, it wants to remove pve-manager and proxmox-ve

After removing it and then retrying the update, the following error comes up when trying to reinstall pve-manager

Don't remove the pve-manager and proxmox-ve packages. Don't upgrade until the staff fixes this.

I'm having the same problem.

I test all updates/upgrades in a stand-alone test node before deploying the updates in the production Cluster.
Following the instructions in the "WARNING" message will brake your node.

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

Web interface is not available. Test VM's and Containers aren't available neither.
I still have access trough SSH. After trying "apt-get dist-upgrade" it returns the following error:

root@pvx:/# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
pve-container
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

I tried "rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && apt update && apt upgrade" before the mentioned process and some updates where installed.
But the regular update process still keeps asking to delete the "proxmox-ve" meta-package.
