*sigh*The following packages have unmet dependencies:
grub-common : Depends: libzfs2 but it is not going to be installed
grub2-common : Depends: libzfs2 but it is not going to be installed

I've added Proxmox repositories to apt/sources, as described in the documentation about Proxmox Package Repositories.
