Update of the LetsEncrypt component always fails since its introduction

TITLE:
Update of LetsEncrypt always fails since its introduction
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk 17.5.3, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1541 @ 2.10GHz
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Whenever a new LetsEncrypt extension is released I will be notified of it, but the upgrade always fails.
This happens/happened on 6 different servers (of which now only 3 remain) on at least 3 occasions.

It does not happen with upgrades of other components​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
When upgrade is offered I go ahead and install.
It then fails, I believe it's a 'cp' command.

After trying it several times I give up and remove the component letsencrypt and install it again afterwards.
This never failed thus far.

The latter is also the reason why I never reported this before as I am constantly very busy. I can only assume this is also the reason why many others didn't give feedback on this.

I have seen forum entries of others experiencing the same.​
ACTUAL RESULT:
Update procedure can't be completed.

Workaround of removing component and installing it again does.​
EXPECTED RESULT:
Update LetsEncrypt completes the procedure.​
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:
Confirm bug
 
BTW.... The Plesk Team has access to my server at the moment and are looking into other issues... They could easily grab some log if they need to.
If I can provide you of some log, please tell me which one.
