Resolved Ignoring file 'plesk.list.ai_back' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list' as it has an invalid filename extension ... !?

[jmar83]

Hi there

Why i get that message after entering the command 'apt purge --autoremove && sleep 1 && apt clean && sleep 1 && apt update' ?




Thank you for your feedbacks.

 

[IgorG]

It is because the correct name which will not be ignored is plesk.list instead of plesk.list.ai_back

 

[jmar83]

Thank you very much for your fast feedback!

So not a bug, more a feature than a bug? ;-)

(So it can be ignored without any problems...?)

 

[IgorG]

This is not an error but only a warning. So, you can ignore this.

 

[jmar83]

ok thx!

It seams after every plesk update the file plesk.list.ai_back is created in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory resulting in warning while apt update.

Is there a fix for this problem? I know this is just a warning but I want to get rid of this warning!

 

[jmar83]

Today i had an update - but just a small one (Plesk 18.x.y Update z) but there is no file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plesk.list.ai_back anymore...

I think that issue is really really simple to fix ("Hello World" so to say) for the plesk developers - isn't it? ;-)

[Wolfgang Reidlinger]

@IgorG thanks,
I did the following:

Added a # in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plesk-ext-site-import.list because it contained PMM_.

grep -r "PMM_" /etc/apt/sources.list*
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/plesk-ext-site-import.list:#deb [arch=amd64] http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PMM_0.1.11 focal all

Apt updates working without any issues so far.
Let's see what happens after the next plesk update.

Thank you very very much for your feedback, Wolfgang!
