Comment:
The issue of what went wrong it output in this issue on certbot
https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/6824
and there were many suggestions there of what to do.
Basically the old syntax for pip is: pip install somepackage
The new syntax is : pip -m install somepackage
and unfortunately since Debian7 is EOL'd which is what is running on
webextra, the pip needs old syntax. That said pip wasn't even installed,
so I stupidly before reading the above, tried to install it with:
{{{
apt-get install python-pip
}}}
which failed and then doing
{{{
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python2.7 get-pip.py
}}}
Which still gave me an old pip but at least worked.
But anyrate hopefully this did not break anything.
So in the end I downgraded the certbot to the .31 and turned off auto-
upgrading using a suggestion from the above issue ticket
{{{
/usr/src/letsencrypt/certbot
mv certbot-auto certbot-auto-broken
wget
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/certbot/certbot/75499277be6699fd5a9b884837546391950a3ec9
/certbot-auto
chmod +x ./certbot-auto
/usr/src/letsencrypt/certbot/certbot-auto renew --no-self-upgrade
}}}
and changed the cronjob to include the --no-self-upgrade switch.
That seemed to do the trick. This is a bandage for now. webextra will
just need to be rebuilt which I have on my list.
