Plesk for Linux
kb: technical
Applicable to:
- Plesk for Linux
Symptoms
Plesk installer shows a warning:
CONFIG_TEXT: Plesk installation doesn't support 'Debian Backports/buster-backports/main' OS repository
Cause
Backport repositories are unsupported to avoid potential stability risks.
According to the official website, backports cannot be tested as extensively as Debian stable, and backports are provided on an as-is basis, with the risk of incompatibilities with other components in Debian stable. Use with care!
Resolution
- Log in to Plesk via SSH
- Identify repository files where backports are defined:
# grep -ir Backports /etc/apt
- Comment out backport repositories in all identified files (by placing a hashtag "#" at the beginning of the string). Normally, it is
/etc/apt/sources.list
Comments
This is not really a solution - as an experienced professional user, I might need additional packages and can configure package priority to selectively access back-ported or non free debian packages.
Is there a flag to disable the blocking behavior? I acknowledge the warning and still want to continue.
If this is just a thing that happens during install, please provide a small hint about the behavior after the install in this doc.
