PLESK_ERROR: Error: Unable to receive update information for the package(s)

Cause

The unavailable repository remains in /etc/yum.repos.d/ from previous Plesk Installer executions.

Resolution

1. Connect to the server via SSH.

2. Remove the plesk.repo file from /etc/yum.repos.d/ as it normally should be there only during Plesk Installer operations:

   # mv /etc/yum.repos.d/plesk.repo ~/

3. Re-run OS updates.
