Certbot Upgrade Not Working

quack · January 30, 2019, 3:30pm

kcleary:

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.1 on a Linode VPS and have been trying to upgrade certbot from 0.23 to 0.30 in order to deal with the TLS-SNI-01 validation end of life issue. (As near as I could tell, this was the best way to address this upcoming challenge to my SSL certificates.)

I have run every command I can find to update and upgrade certbot, and as near as I can tell they have all run successfully. Despite these efforts, however, every time I run certbot --version, the return says I’m still using certbot 0.23.0.

I’ve tried looking for help, but I can’t find other people with this particular problem. All my certificates are working fine right now, but it seems as though that will end as early as February 13 if I don’t find a solution.

All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi! I have the same issue, please help.

I am running Ubuntu 17.10 on a Digital Ocean droplet and have been trying to upgrade certbot from 0.22.2-1+ubuntu17.10.1+certbot+1 in order to deal with the TLS-SNI-01 validation end of life issue.

I have run every command I can find to update and upgrade certbot, and as near as I can tell they have all run successfully. Despite these efforts, however, every time I run certbot --version, the return says I’m still using certbot 0.22.2

All help is greatly appreciated!

Hey @quack ! Your issue stems from the fact that Ubuntu 17.10 reached its end of life on 19th of July 2018. No updates (including security updates) have been provided for your version since. You are strongly urged to upgrade!

If you wish to run a version of Ubuntu for longer time before the need to upgrade to a newer major version, I suggest you upgrade to an LTS (Long Term Support) version. The differences in the time a specific version is supported can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history#Version_timeline to give you a clear picture about the differences.

Thank you, it makes sense.

I am also having trouble upgrading certbot on Ubuntu 18.04. I have tried both apt and apt-get, but no luck. But I see that the current version of certbot for Ubuntu 18.04 is 0.23, which is far behind the current version:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/certbot

Am I missing something here?

mnordhoff · February 12, 2019, 3:39am

Have you enabled the Certbot PPA and run “sudo apt update”? The PPA has version 0.28.0. Ubuntu’s own repositories only have 0.23.0, as you saw.

justhsu · February 12, 2019, 4:28am

Got it, I somehow missed that when setting up. Works now, thanks!

Got --dry-run tested OK?

justhsu · February 12, 2019, 6:11pm

Yup, dry run passes with no problems.

btorell · February 12, 2019, 9:12pm

When I run sudo apt-get update, I get connection failed errors to the PPA server. Thus, when I try to upgrade, apt still tells me that I’m on the latest version, which it thinks is 0.26.
