Attempting to renew cert failing

Help

My domain is: https://slurpnet.com

I ran this command: $ sudo certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:

Hi @redhazelgreen

that says:

Your Certbot is too old. An update is required.

Thank you.

I ran
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade certbot

Version is still certbot 0.28.0

Running sudo apt install python-certbot-apache gives me python-certbot-apache is already the newest version (0.28.0-1~deb9u1).

So either I'm doing something wrong with the updating procedure, or that is the latest version available for my system.
