As a tmp solution, of course.

Thanks, murchik. It works.

I am so sorry I had a copy paste fail.

What is meant to write was

pip install pycparser==2.13

I downgraded my pycparser to 2.13 and then I could install cryptography fine

pip install cryptography

Adding “–no-binary pycparser” as recommended in the pycparser git issue tracker worked for me on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Jessie:

Change certbot-auto as follows:

I confirm @seadog 's fix works on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS aswell.

26

I confirm @seadog fix too, worked on Ubuntu 14.04. Thanks!

27

Even i am facing the same issue . in ubuntu 14.04,

28

I also confirm that @seadog 's fix works on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. You have to modify your certbot-auto script and add that one line after --hash=sha256... like so:

pyparser==2.14 \ --hash=sha256:7959b4a74abdc27b312fed1c21e6caf9309ce0b29ea86b591fd2e99ecdf27f73 \ --no-binary pycparser

instead of:

pyparser==2.14 \ --hash=sha256:7959b4a74abdc27b312fed1c21e6caf9309ce0b29ea86b591fd2e99ecdf27f73 \

Hey! @pfzero

please let me how edit that file in ubuntu…

30

i confirm @seadog fix too, it worked on Ubuntu 14.04,

sudo nano certbot-auto search for : pycparser==2.14 in the file

add --no-binary pycparser

below --hash=sha256:7959b4a74abdc27b312fed1c21e6caf9309ce0b29ea86b591fd2e99ecdf27f73 \

save the file and execute it

Thanks!

Phew. @nickschwab is correct that this issue has been resolved. For those that are curious, I wrote up a bit of a postmortem about what happened on our GitHub repo:
