I upgraded Parallels Plesk 10 yesterday using apt-get or aptitude. Now when I run apt-cache, there seems to be the same package (psa) installed twice with different versions! How is that possible and how do I fix that?

Answer 1

apt-cache shows you what packages it knows about, not which packages you have installed. Try apt-cache policy psa to see which one is preferred, and dpkg -l psa to see what is actually installed.
