Hello,
I just updated to 7.3.1 from 7.2 and I have this error whenever I run any PVE related command :

Bash:
:~# pveversion -v

Ho do I fix it ?
 
Have been through that version.
So, I just simple, apt update and apt upgrade and then this error.
--EDIT--
Since you asked, how upgraded, I also ran "apt dist-upgrade" and it seems to have resolved the issue.

Hello Team,

I am facing the Same issue, please help me on this issue

#apt-get dist-upgrade -y

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpve-u2f-server-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.32.1
librados2-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.32.1
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
# apt --fix-broken install -y

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
proxmox-kernel-helper
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libpve-access-control libpve-cluster-api-perl libpve-guest-common-perl libpve-storage-perl libpve-u2f-server-perl librados2-perl proxmox-ve pve-container pve-firewall pve-ha-manager pve-manager

For me, using `apt dist-upgrade` resovled the issue.

If you are doing 7 to 8 upgarde, follow this guide, https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8
I upgraded my Proxmox VE operating system from version 6 to version 7, but I cannot access the web console.

When I try to install the proxmox-ve package, it says it is already installed but broken. Here are the unmet dependencies:
  • libpve-u2f-server-perl: Requires perlapi-5.32.1
  • librados2-perl: Requires perlapi-5.32.1
