  • 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.

I have an issue with apt updates here, running plesk onyx 17.8.11 update 46 on vps with debian jessie 8.11.
See error message above (expand). Possibly also with wheezy.

"jessie-updates" source on debian mirrors dosn't exist any more.
debian restructured the mirrors yesterday.
stretch might not be affected since strech-updates still exists on mirrors.

What's the recommended way to workaround?
Or will plesk receive an update?
Do other users experience the same issue?

I have exactly the same issue.
I managed to get updates by changing
Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
in /etc/apt/sources.list to
Code:
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
and using
Code:
apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update
However, I sincerely doubt that this is the proper way.
Are Jessie users screwed up now?

I'm surprised that there are so few with that problem. Has everyone upgraded to stretch already?
Maybe the majority hasn't noticed yet, their system isn't updating properly any more.

Maybe there is also a difference between wheezy, which is EOL (end of life) and jessie, which is in LTS. LTS - Debian Wiki
At least in the case of jessie i would expect an official answer or assistance from plesk since onyx supports it according to their software requirements. Software Requirements for Plesk

Furthermore I was planning to do a dist upgrade in the near future. I guess i would run into problems, trying to do that dist upgrade now with that errors?
