Certbot-auto crash while trying to update

Certbot-auto has been crashing on my home Ubuntu 16.04 computer when I try to run it since the 0.9.0 update. To be clear, it had been working fine on 0.8.1, but starting when I first ran it after 0.9.0 was released, it tries to do an update and crashes after checking the dependencies.
