MagicSpam Extension Installation fails in Plesk 17

by

Recently we faced the below error while trying to install MagicSpam free version via plesk interface and got installed via command line using the rpm from the plesk download section.

Error while trying to install / upgrade from plesk interface is the below 
Failed
