Plesk for Linux kb: technical

Symptoms

Can't update Plesk with error:

CONFIG_TEXT: Skipping acquire of configured file ‘all/binary-amd64/Packages’ as repository ‘http://example.com/repo/ InRelease’ doesn’t support architecture arm64

The repository in question belongs to software that might not be used or needed anymore.

Cause

A repository doesn't support the system's architecture and prevents the system from updating.

Resolution

Remove the repository

Connect to the server via SSH
Edit the files that have the repository information:

In the file /etc/apt/sources.list
And in the files in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Locate the repository from the error and delete it.
Save the files and try to update Plesk again.

If the repository is still required

Note: Follow the ensuing steps only if the repository is still needed, force the required architecture as follows:

Edit the files that have the repository information:

In the file /etc/apt/sources.list
And in the files in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Modify the repository to include the architecture as follows:

Before:

CONFIG_TEXT: deb http://example.com/repo/

After:

CONFIG_TEXT: deb [arch=amd64] http://example.com/repo/

Save the files, and retry to manually update packages once again:

# apt-get update

Try to update Plesk again.
