Resolved DNF makecache failed after 18.0.71 u1

[OverWolf]

Server operating system version

AlmaLinux 9.6

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.71 #1

Hi,
I'm on AlmaLinux 9.6 and after update from 18.0.69 to 18.0.70u1 I have this error :

Is this a possibile bug ?

Other strange thing is that after the update (yesterday) I cannot open Plesk UI via port 8447. This is very strange because I have opened it for upgrade to 18.0.71u1

Hello, @OverWolf . Kindly run the following command to perform a test with curl and let us know what's the outcome:

curl -v https://ch.origin.autoinstall.plesk.com/PHP74_17/dist-rpm-RedHat-el9-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

Thank you for the confirmation. It looks like curl successfully retrieves the file. Could you please re-attempt the update? It might have been a temporary connectivity issue. Please let us know in case the issue persists.

Hi,
now it seems working
