New Pleskian
- Server operating system version
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Plesk version and microupdate number
- 18.0.67 #3
Hello dear Community,
maybe somone can help me with the following problem:
I run several Plesk-Servers with the latest Plesk Obsidian (18.0.67 Update 3) on Ubuntu Linux (VM based).
Now I tried to upgrade the Ubuntu OS of one of my servers from Ubuntu 22.04-LTS to 24.04-LTS.
I followed the guide here:
support.plesk.com
Section: "Dist-upgrade from Ubuntu 22 (Jammy Jellyfish) to Ubuntu 24 (Noble Numbat) - Manual step by step process"
Unfortunately the upgrade process failed due to problems with package dependencies in step 14 of the instructions
("Install modern kernel, libc6, python3, mariadb packages")
It is some kind of weird because the aptitude tool tries to install i386-packages although the server runs on amd64 basis.
(There are no other i386-packages installed before starting the upgrade..I checked that ("dpkg -l | grep i386"))
Luckily I had a snapshot and could reset the VM to the previous state.
And so I tried several options:
I disabled the i386 architecture from dpkg tool like suggested here:
superuser.com
But this did not solve the problem...
One run of the aptitude command (I set libc6 architecture explicitly to "amd64") is attached as file...
Excerpt here (due to character limitations):
In the end there seems to be a clash of the two libc6 libraries, one amd64 based and the other i386 based...
How can I handle this?
Any help/clue is appreciated!
Thank you very much
