certbot appears to have been uninstalled. My (mail) server is working fine, but the renewal cronjob which used to work now couldn't even find certbot.
I installed it in May or June using the commands listed here https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntubionic-apache, which finishes with (note: I didn't skip to that point of the instructions)
The ONLY commands I run on the system (<1x/week) are
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo shutdown -r Between executions of the cron job (i.e. June 5 and July 5) certbot was apparently removed or destroyed by the apt-get process.
I just reinstalled via the instructions and certbot renew executes, but I'm trying to figure out what happened to figure out if this was a one-time thing or what went wrong so that my certificates don't expire on me if I don't pay attention.
Thanks in advance.
