Error during update from 8.4 to 8.6: dependency problems

[kbechtold]

Yesterday I upgraded from Plesk 8.3 to 8.4 (Suse 10.2) without any errors. Today I started to upgrade from 8.4 to 8.6 and the upgrade broke down with dependency problems. The Plesk server is not starting anymore.

Any ideas? "Format c:" ;-) ? Is it possible to roll back to version 8.4?

Thank you very much!

Best regards from Berlin, Germany
