Cause
Plesk packages conflict with the Epel repository packages when the Epel repository is enabled on CentOS 8 or AlmaLinux
Resolution
Warning: The following workaround must persist once CentOS 8 will be converted to AlmaLinux to avoid conflicts with packages
Apply one of the following workarounds:
Exclude packages from the Epel repository
-
Connect to the server via SSH
-
Exclude the conflictive packages from the Epel repository:
Note: The following command will exclude the package log4cplys and awstats from the Epel repository
# sed -i.backup ‘s/enabled=1$/enabled=1nexclude=log4cplus,awstats/g’ /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
Disable Epel repository
-
Connect to the server via SSH
-
Disable the Epel repository:
# sed -i.backup ‘s/enabled=1/enabled=0/g’ /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
