debianhttpsinstallation upgradeoperating systempartner

Symptoms

  • Plesk is running on a Debian or Ubuntu based operating system

  • Errors like these appear during updates:

    E: Failed to fetch http://autoinstall.plesk.com/[...]example_package.deb 404 Not Found
    E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

    The repository 'http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal Release' no longer has a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default

    # plesk installer --select-release-current --upgrade-installed-components
    ...
    E: Version '17.8.11-ubuntu16.04.build1708180329.14' for 'pp17.8.11-bootstrapper' was not found
    E: Version '17.8.11-ubuntu16.04.build1708180322.11' for 'plesk-completion' was not found
