Gentoo system, VersionConflict

Help
1

Not sure if this is even the right place for it, but I figures I’d at least give it a try.
The key output is:

pkg resources.VersionConflict: (certbot 0.16.0.dev0 (/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages), Requirement.parse(‘certbot==0.15.0.dev0’))

but I struggle to make sense of it…

I ran this command:
certbot

It produced this output:
An unexpected error occurred:

That’s odd… How did you install certbot?

#emerge certbot.

worked lovely until a couple of days ago.

I found this over at GitHub, indicating that it is a python 3.4 problem:

But I have no idea how to fix this.

emerge -av app-crypt/certbot-apache

seems to have fixed the problem…
Not sure why, maybe I just messed it up somehow.

Anyway, this is fixed now.
