I’m running Debain 9.4 and saw last month the letsencypt packages were held back from backports.
The following packages have been kept back:
certbot (0.19.0-1~bpo9+1 => 0.21.1-1~bpo9+1)
python-acme (0.19.0-1~bpo9+1 => 0.21.1-1~bpo9+1)
python-certbot-nginx (0.19.0-1~bpo9+1 => 0.21.1-1~bpo9+1)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Is there any important functionality needed in the backports?
@bmw or @hlieberman can probably shed some light on the above. I think the Debian package for a recent release of Certbot made it depend on Python 3 (instead of Python 2.7). If I recall correctly that may be causing “held back” for some people.
Thank you everybody for repying and shedding light on this.
I think my original certs used the deprecated tns-sni-01 plugin. Currently my renewals are broken, but this has been commented on in another existing thread.
