Scripts don't seem to work anymore - [ERROR] in line 195: exit code 0: while executing command $STD apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" -y dist-upgrade

Hi,

Fairly new to this so please bear with me. I have run a number of scripts on my proxmox node with success. However, today I seem to constantly get the same error message for 4 that I have tried, one of which I knew worked previously. So I am guessing something has changed on my server but not sure what. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Here is an example of verbose from running Homarr, with the last few lines being

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.36-9+deb12u9) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
openssh-server
ssh
⠏E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

[ERROR] in line 195: exit code 0: while executing command $STD apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" -y dist-upgrade

Scrolling up through the output the only other thing I can see that looks out of place is this

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Something broken on your Debian Install. apt autoremove?

[m4tthall73]

Thanks for the suggestion but running apt autoremove doesn't do anything

[MickLesk]

Why you do an dist-upgrade ?

You get SSH Errors, Python Errors and more..

[m4tthall73]

apt dist-upgrade doesn't do anything either

In the meantime I ran all the script commands on the virtual machine manually to get it to work
