Fixing version mismatch

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: policy.animaljusticeparty.org.au

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly -d policy.animaljusticeparty.org

It produced this output: … Attempting to parse the version 0.35.0 renewal configuration file found at /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/chat.animaljusticeparty.org.conf with version 0.31.0 of Certbot. This might not work.

My web server is (include version): nginx version: nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): 0.31.0

I got an email about “ACMEv1 API deprecation” … so I did an “apt-get update/upgrade” … will that fix it?

I then tried to update by licence with my newly updated certbot 0.31.0 … and got the message above about 0.35 configuration.

Is this all the output?

try running certbot certificates and certbot renew --verbose

hi 9peppe,

The same error appeared … followed by a stream of python debugging messages and eventually …
“certbot.errors.Error: 1 renew failure(s), 0 parse failure(s)
1 renew failure(s), 0 parse failure(s)”

The renew error is expected, because I know the renewal worked and the certificate shows up fine, I’m just worried about the version mismatch. In particular, I have the latest version of certbot from the repository, but the license appears to be well ahead of my version. Which seems weird.
