Warning on installing Plesk on Debian: Plesk installation doesn't support 'Debian Backports/buster-backports/main' OS repository

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

  1. Log in to Plesk via SSH
  2. Identify repository files where backports are defined:

    # grep -ir Backports /etc/apt

  3. 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

    Hello @Ugur Abdioglu

    If you want to edit /etc/apt/sources.list file you can do it with text editor, for example vi with the following command:

    vi /etc/apt/sources.list
