• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hi Igor,

thank you for answering. I guess this are the important lines:

#Unable to install the both psa-spf2-1.2.9-10071608.i586 and spf2-1.2.5-0.279666.i586 because they are conflict with each other.Could not add package spf2-1.2.5-0.279666.i586to the list of required packages.Problem occured during searching directly resolved dependencies for 'libspf2.so.2' of package psa-mail-driver-common-9.5.3-suse11.1.build95101022.06.i586 -- Check for new version of PSA_9.5.3/plesk-9.5.3-suse11.1-i386.inf3
Filefetcher: get file (~empty)/PSA_9.5.3/plesk-9.5.3-suse11.1-i386.inf3
Error: start packages list for resolver is empty


What can I do?
 
If you have psa-spf2 or spf2 packages already installed - try to remove them before upgrade.
 
Thank you for answering. How do I remove packages?

With rpm package utility. 'man rpm' for details. Contact support team if you are not familiar with Linux command line utilities.
