Issue Unexpected token t in JSON at position 374

[srib]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.34

Seeing the following message under a few domains on my Plesk:
Unexpected token t in JSON at position 374

Running Plesk Obsidian 18.0.34 Update #2 (last updated in 2021).

Trying to update packages, receiving an error: Unable to receive update information for th epackage(s)



Looks like we are on a very old and out of date Plesk that is having issues. What is the best way to get out of this?

Hi, Ubuntu 16 is already out of support since quite long (2021).
Here, probably the best would be to migrate to an up-to-date OS and see if that still works even with the issues you're experiencing.

Should you have issues during the migration, I would suggest reaching out to our support team.

(Use the license from the new system to open the request, as old OSes will not be accepted)

Here I in the best case is just some corrupted file, or the server got hacked due to being so out of date with no security patches from OS, etc.
