Resolution

Warning: The following instructions can compromise your server, pay attention and perform a full server backup or snapshot before any action.

1. Connect to the server via SSH

2. Get the full list of duplicate packages:

   # package-cleanup --dupes

   Note: If needed package-cleanup can be installed with yum install yum-utils

3. Check all the packages and remove the older package without dependencies:

   # rpm -e --nodeps --justdb <package-name-older-version>

   For example, between these two packages:

   samba-client-libs-4.6.2-12.el7_4.x86_64
   samba-client-libs-4.8.3-4.el7.x86_64

   It would be required to remove samba-client-libs-4.6.2-12.el7_4.x86_64 without dependencies as follows:

   # rpm -e --nodeps --justdb samba-client-libs-4.6.2-12.el7_4.x86_64

4. Re-apply latest Plesk updates:

   # plesk installer
