  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Plesk 8.0 uninstall and dependencies

I have read the section in the Plesk installation guide about removing Plesk from a *nix system.
The only thing that worries me is that I am instructed to "rpm -e" all Plesk related modules with "--nodeps".

As a simple example, trying to remove just psa-qmail WITHOUT --nodeps brings up the following:

rpm -e psa-qmail
error: Failed dependencies:
smtp_daemon is needed by (installed) mailx-11.4-3
smtp_daemon is needed by (installed) cron-4.1-20
smtp_daemon is needed by (installed) fetchmail-6.2.5-59.4
psa-qmail is needed by (installed) psa-courier-imap-add-8.0.0-suse9.3.build80060331.13
psa-qmail is needed by (installed) psa-qmail-rblsmtpd-0.70-suse9.3.build80060331.13
psa-qmail is needed by (installed) psa-8.0.0-suse9.3.build80060427.19

Now obviously there are some non-Plesk packages that depend on Plesk packages. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a noob when it comes to *nix, but I know that blindly removing packages on which other packages depend is not such a marvellous idea. cron, for example, is not something i want to break while uninstalling Plesk.

Can anyone give me some pointers on this?
My server is a virtual (Suse 9.3), which my hosting company is managing with Virtuozzo. It came with Plesk pre-installed, though not activated.
I'd like to remove Plesk completely.

Thanks for any help! :)
