Upgrading to 2.X without subscription

[altano]

I'm trying to follow the instructions and upgrade from PBS 1.1 to 2.x. The instructions say:

apt update
apt dist-upgrade
# verify version:
proxmox-backup-manager versions
proxmox-backup-server 1.1.11-1 running version: 1.1.11 (or higher)

But I can't get to version 1.1.11 if I dist-upgrade with pve-no-subscription.

My /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster main contrib

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib

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

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org buster/updates main contrib

My /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbs-enterprise.list:

#deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster pbs-enterprise

dist-upgrade does nothing for me:

root@pbs-flash:~# apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org buster/updates InRelease
Hit:2 http://download.zerotier.com/debian/buster buster InRelease
Hit:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:4 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease
Hit:5 http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster InRelease

proxmox-backup-server 1.1.1-1 running version: 1.1.1

Rebooting doesn't help.

Note that I do have a Proxmox subscription but the Proxmox Backup Server subscription is way too expensive for my homelab hobby projects.

You've added the PVE not the PBS repository. The PBS repository is deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster pbs-no-subscription as described there: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#proxmox-backup-no-subscription-repository

Hah, whoops. That's good that kind of mistake can't break your system, hah.

Fixing the repo immediately got me going on 1.1.13. Thanks, @Dunuin !

I'm following the steps to upgrade from PBS 1 to 2. The problem I've encountered is that my current version is 1.1-1 and won't update from this point when I try to upgrade to version 2.
I've got the following error.

dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
Installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
pve-kernel-5.15.158-2-pve
pve-kernel-5.15
proxmox-backup
initramfs-tools


I plan to upgrade from version 1 to version 4. I was already able to upgrade Proxmox VE from version 6 to 9.
