Execute the following commands:

# dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libapache2-modsecurity_2.9.2-ubuntu14.04.18021217_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libapache2-mod-security2_2.7.7-2_amd64.deb

Note: ignore if one of the commands fails.

Install Plesk updates:

# plesk installer update
