VE 2.0 on debian squeeze

[christian.a]

Hi!

I am trying installing a KVM with webgui on my new webserver (at hetzner). Last time (2 hours ago) it worked but there were network troubles so I had to reinstall the server.

1.) Debian 6 squeeze minimal
2.) http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Squeeze (until

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace]aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32[/FONT][/COLOR]

)

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace]aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32[/FONT][/COLOR]

made the following error

But the following error occurred:

Unpacking vzctl (from .../vzctl_3.0.29-3pve7_amd64.deb) ...
unable to backup existing configuration
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/vzctl_3.0.29-3pve7_amd64.deb (--unpack):

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of proxmox-ve-2.6.32:
 proxmox-ve-2.6.32 depends on vzctl (>= 3.0.29); however:
  Package vzctl is not installed.
dpkg: error processing proxmox-ve-2.6.32 (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 proxmox-ve-2.6.32

Any ideas?

Thx!

You'll first need to figure out why the vzctl package is not installing properly

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/vzctl_3.0.29-3pve7_amd64.deb

Try

apt-get purge proxmox-ve-2.6.32 vzctl

and then

rm/var/cache/apt/archives/vzctl_3.0.29-3pve7_amd64.deb
apt-get install vzctl

See what happens then you rerun

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace]aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32[/FONT][/COLOR]

So people can better help, you would probably benefit from also pasting the results of

uname -a

and

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

There seems to be a stale vzctl backup from a previous installation. Please try to remove that with:

# mv /etc/vz/conf.org /root/old-vz-conf.org

Then try again.

I assume there are no old containers on that system? If so you can safely remove /root/old-vz-conf.org

After rerunning the vzctl and the proxmox-ve anything seems fine.

Will try the rest and come back to tell you what happens!

THX!
