Resolved Backup Manager unable to back up banned IP addresses

[miagg]

After upgrading to AlmaLinux 9 and Plesk 18.0.80, backup manager shows this warning on every backup.

Unable to back up banned IP addresses. Error: f2bmng failed: ERROR:__main__:Failed to get packages by files: package manager returned 5 lines instead of expected 3. Command was ['/bin/rpm', '-qf', '--queryformat', '%{NAME}\\n', '/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf', '/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/plesk.conf', '/etc/fail2ban/jail.local'] and returned exit status 1. Your package system might be inconsistent. Please check it for issues with 'plesk sbin pum --check --full'.

I tried reinstalling fail2ban by following instructions on the link below, but as another user says it did not fix the problem.

Hi, @miagg . Kindly run the command from the error and confirm if it returns any warning/errors related to the keys:

plesk sbin pum --check --full

Gi @Sebahat.hadzhi,
Yes I've run it at least twice.
Here is the output:

2026-08-23 21:25:00 INFO: pum is called with arguments: ['--check', '--full']
warning: Signature not supported. Hash algorithm SHA1 not available.warning: Could not load key gpg-pubkey-24098cb6-58875d52

So, it seems like there's indeed an issue with the GPG keys of a repository, which is not necessarily a Plesk issue.

Please try identifying the repository in question:

rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-24098cb6-58875d52

Once you identify the problematic repository, please try importing a new key.

Thank you @Sebahat.hadzhi,
I ran the above command and found out I had an obsolete Grafana SHA‑1 GPG key after the almalinux8to9 migration.

I solved it by running the following:

rpm -e gpg-pubkey-24098cb6-58875d52

curl -fsSLo /root/grafana.gpg https://rpm.grafana.com/gpg.key
rpm --import /root/grafana.gpg

I'm not sure if this will solve the backup manager warning though. I triggered a custom backup, and I will report once it finishes.

The above fixed my issue with backup manager.
