See the following info seen from the console/shell within Proxmox web UI:

root@pve:~# apt -f install
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'
to correct the problem.


And the following info seen under ssh terminal:

werner@X10DAi:~$ ssh root@192.168.10.254
The authenticity of host '192.168.10.254 (192.168.10.254)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:s6hATbCfE+vH/h2HBl2RcKJM4xHwjfXiF5mt/c8igog.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.10.254' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
