Hello Everyone ,

$ sudo apt-get install python-certbot-apache

Clean install of server is also throwing same error

I tried various procedures, clean server install but still getting same issue ! Is anything getting upgraded on Certbot Severs? because as per my knowledge weeks ago i used same commands to issue SSL on Ubuntu 18.04 server

You might try to run apt-get with debugging options, so you might find out more information about this problem:

sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install python-certbot-apache

I am having this same problem. I ran the above command and still got the same error

The error won't go away when you tell a command to give you more debugging information with the above command. It will do exactly the same as before, but tell you more about it. You'll need to use that extra information to figure out or search for a solution.

Hey i’m running into this exact same problem. Bumping this thread!

Solved! The universe repository wasn’t in my sources list.

I added the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe

It installed correctly after that.

thats for trusty, is that ok on 18.04.1 ? my sources only has 3 entries are all are for bionic.
