Hello, I would like to understand why I can't generate a certificate. I'm getting the following error:

root@debian:/etc/nginx/sites-available# certbot --nginx -d debian.ccqva.local
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Requesting a certificate for debian.ccqva.local
An unexpected error occurred:
AttributeError: can't set attribute
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

My domain is: debian.ccqva.local
i tried to update certbot but i keep getting the 2.1.0

Help me please , thank you.

Have you done either of these things? What were the results?

I think this is a known bug with 2.1; if the OS's package manager doesn't have a newer version then you'll need to uninstall that version and reinstall certbot via snap or pip.

.local isn't a real domain name, so even if you had certbot working then you wouldn't be able to get a certificate for that name. You can only get publicly-trusted certificates for public names that are in the real public DNS system.
