• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Something wrong with Plesk distribution server? cpio md5 errors

For the past few weeks, adding components to Plesk via autoinstaller more often than not produces errors like these on the first attempt:

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/init.d/pc-remote;52e2a8c6: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

That was converting a centos 5 i386 server from qmail to postfix, but it's not limited to just postfix or the OS; I see the same thing adding pieces to centos 6, i386 and x86_64, etc. Typically running the same attempt a few more times will finally get it to work, so perhaps some server within the Parallels' CDN has corrupt files.
