  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

The error below indicates that apt is already in use by another application.

Code:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 1188072 (apt-get)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

You can use the command fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock the see which application already uses apt. If this command does not find anything you can try the update again. Otherwise wait some time and try again tomorrow.

If you don't want to wait or if you keep getting the same error, here you'll find more information about how to deal with the issue: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
 
thank you very much for your kind response,
the odd thing is that if I go to the updates section of settings in plesk, it says that my server is all up to date and I see no errors there;

I run fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock
and it returns nothing, empty
