Error when generating cert (Ubuntu Apache)

Help
1

I cant seem to generate a certificate on ubuntu 16.04 apache2. I’m running this as a non-root user but with sudo privs:

sudo letsencrypt --apache

Have also tried with adding the domains with -d domain.com but I end up with the same problem

It asks which names I’d like to activate https for (www.example.com and example.com). I select both

It asks for my email address

I agree to TOS

It then quits and gives me this error:

An unexpected error occurred:
ClientError: (<Response [500]>, DeserializationError('The following field are required: detail',))
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.

When I look in the log file, the last section has this traceback (let me know if you need to see the log output from before this):

How can I fix this problem?
