is anyone gonna post soe help? =)

i have the same problem...

I see this never got a reply. I had the same problem the first time I tried to upgrade, but then not the second time.

I would suggest commenting out the normal servers in /etc/apt/sources.list and leaving just the Parallels one(s) and then run it again and see if it goes through successfully or not.

Parallels repositories

where do you find those? or you meant I should just comment all the debian (in my case) repositories?

 

[Kiwilink]

That's right. Your /etc/apt/sources.list at this stage will probably contain sources of parallel's Plesk servers... If not then go ahead and ignore my advice.. But if so comment out all of the Debian ones and see what kind of errors you get when you try to upgrade.

Personally though, I would reccomend waiting for the next release of Plesk to upgrade, its still really buggy, kinda like a fresh Windows release.

I have exactly the same problem. Tried on a couple of different machines and a virtualbox vm. Anyone got a fix for this. Mine fails at
