TITLE

The default PHP version specified for webmail use (Roundcube in this caser) is out of date/out if synch with the rest of Plesk Obsidian

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.36 / Plesk Roundcube 1.4.11-v.ubuntu.20.04+p18.0.36.0+t210526.1459 / Postfix 3.4.13-0ubuntu1

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

The issue and it's follow ups are all clear to read here:

This Plesk article which is linked from the above also has a supporting post added to it:

This was back when Plesk Obsidian 18.0.35 was the current release. It's such a small change for Plesk to apply, that it was fair to assume that it would have been corrected in the Plesk Obsidian 18.0.36 release, but it's been missed...

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Try to remove PHP 7.3.* from a server when nothing else from Plesk and no additional packages actually use that package. There will be an error prompt due to the Plesk Webmail specification that's still stuck on specifying PHP 7.3.*

ACTUAL RESULT

Those are described in the links in the problem description section above but realistically, PHP 7.3.* must still remain installed at present.

EXPECTED RESULT

Removal of PHP 7.3.* with no restriction due to a previous coding ommision

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Technically, it's not a bug, but it's something that's been missed and thus causes unecessary retention of an out of date package. It could and should be included on the next Plesk minor upgrade. That would be a suitable resolution.

YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM

Help with sorting out
 
Currently (Plesk 18.0.44), Roundcube and Horde depend on PHP 7.4, which has not reached EOL.
PHP 7.3 can be removed without any prompts.
