Issue Upgrading 12.5.30 to 17.8.11 fails on plesk-repair-kit@noarch

[Sandert]

Good day.

Firstly, hello. I'm new to this forum, my name is Sander and I need help upgrading my vps to Plesk 17.8.11.

So the reason I need to upgrade is because I'm installing the latest Drupal version which requires PHP 7.1.
Under the current plesk version 12.5.30 It doesn't seem possible to install php 7.1 so for that reason I would like to upgrade to the latest possible version of plesk. I have allready fixed several errors regarding libs, packages en opening ports, which got me a step forward each time, but it seems I'm stuck and not able to carry on because I cannot find a sollution to my problem which I'll describe below:

Running the plesk installer goes well untill the point where the installer tries to download plugins I guess.

First of all repair all packages and dependencies on your Plesk with the following command:

# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components

Check output of command:

# yum repolist enabled

and disable all third-party yum repositories if exists.
Than run

# plesk installer

and try upgrade again.
