When trying the challenge URL from any browser, I get the correct (expected) response. But proceeding with the certbot command give a wrong anwser:
Expected value:
LPaCyeRPk6zA9IVVQ-K5ghbVysEWmaE9_SDpbmpmH5Y.54c9RZBaaB94IPo6klfn4PF8KRyYA3BYLDkhJup6v8c
Detail: The key authorization file from the server did not match this challenge. Expected "LPaCyeRPk6zA9IVVQ-K5ghbVysEWmaE9_SDpbmpmH5Y.54c9RZBaaB94IPo6klfn4PF8KRyYA3BYLDkhJup6v8c" (got "LPaCyeRPk6zA9IVVQ-K5ghbVysEWmaE9_SDpbmpmH5Y.4E3VCTFsySjUrqnCg0ooULx-3kbdPBygi0aWkvg5Gd8")
note: only the second part of the challenge is wrong. wget, curl and web browser gives the correct challenge, only letsencrypt gets the wrong one (in blod).
no cache server , no multiple host associated with the domain.
additional informations:
My domain is: varbado-interim.com
I ran this command: certbot certonly --webroot -w /home/varbado-interim/public_html -d varbado-interim.com --debug-challenges -v
It produced this output:
The following URLs should be accessible from the internet and return the value
mentioned:

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: varbado-interim.com
Type: unauthorized
Detail: The key authorization file from the server did not match this challenge. Expected "LPaCyeRPk6zA9IVVQ-K5ghbVysEWmaE9_SDpbmpmH5Y.54c9RZBaaB94IPo6klfn4PF8KRyYA3BYLDkhJup6v8c" (got "LPaCyeRPk6zA9IVVQ-K5ghbVysEWmaE9_SDpbmpmH5Y.4E3VCTFsySjUrqnCg0ooULx-3kbdPBygi0aWkvg5Gd8")
