Cause

libspf2 is required to be updated from 3rd-party repository.

Resolution

1. Connect to the server using SSH.
2. Erase the old package manually:

   # rpm -e --nodeps psa-spf2-1.2.9-15072015.x86_64

3. Make sure that 3rd-party repositories are disabled, as libspf2 can be updated with dependencies.
4. Download and install the actual version of the package (example for CentOS 7):

   # wget http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_17.5.3/dist-rpm-CentOS-7-x86_64/contrib/psa-spf2-1.2.9.1-centos7.17031414.x86_64.rpm
   # yum localinstall psa-spf2-1.2.9.1-centos7.17031414.x86_64.rpm
