We dutifully hit Continue and while the process completes as follows, Plesk continues to show "Component updates are available" -

Any thoughts?
 
Try to fix it with:

# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components
 
Here are the results with Plesk 18.0.28 v3 still reporting a Postfix component update:

Code:

For any interested (or just plain bored readers) of this post, the issue, albeit a bit difficult to tell from the lack of a more meaningful error, stemmed from the same circumstances detailed here so by disabling priority protections, running the update, and then re-enabling it as documented in Pavel Rozental's KB article, all is well again in Plesklandia.

Apparently some upstream mirrors were slow to reflect a newer PostFix version that Plesk wanted to install, hence this behavior but some better messaging couldn't have hurt.
