Resolved Failed to update the extension (Debian 8 VPS)

TimReeves

Regular Pleskian
I run Plesk on about 7 servers, all Debian 8 or 9, all without Bind installed (the Domains are all managed at domain specialist companies). All Updating is going fine everywhere, except at one server I am now seeing the warning popup (bottom right) when logged in to Plesk:

Failed to update the extension
Execution of /opt/psa/tmp/moduleQIxvB5/plib/scripts/pre-install.php failed with exit code 1 and the output:
DNS Service is not installed on this instance.

I know that there are various known problems, e.g. with the Lets Encrypt Extension, when Bind is not installed. But with this message, I don't know where to start. Can anyone give me a tip?

Thanks, Tim
