Am not able to install cert bot on my domain it say package missing but it is already installed

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:www.maritimeplatform.com

I ran this command:sudo certbot --apache -d maritimeplatform.com -d www.maritimeplatform.com

It produced this output:An unexpected error occurred:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'acme.magic_typing'(but when check status of this package-it says latest version available)

My web server is (include version):apache 3.10

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):ubuntu 16.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:hostinger,vps

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):yes i can

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):yes i can webmin

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):not able to install certbot

@_az Any ideas about this?

@vraghavans Do you remember how you installed Certbot? Did you follow instructions from https://certbot.eff.org/? Did you use your operating system package manager to install it?

It looks like global pip was used to install Certbot. Following the instructions on the website should take care of the issue.
