Symptoms

• Trying to update Plesk from 18.0.45 to 18.0.46 through CLI (plesk installer --console) outputs an error like:

CONFIG_TEXT: Exception: Failed to solve dependencies:
plesk-awstats-configurator-18.0-2.centos.7+p18.0.46.0+t220808.0959.noarch requires awstats >= 7.8

exit status 1

• The following error message may be shown while performing the update via Interface:

PLESK_WARN: Error: Cache-only enabled but no cache for 'powertools'

• The following line is present in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo:

  # grep "exclude=" /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
  exclude=awstats*

Cause

exclude=awstats parameter is preventing AWSTATS from updating.

Resolution

1. Connect to the server via SSH

2. Using a text editor (e.g nano or vi-editor), Remove exclude=awstats parameter from /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

3. Update packages:

   # yum update

4. Re-run Plesk Update
