Problem renewing the cert in dry-run

I having problems in renewing the cert. The dry-run fails with the following message:
ran@hydrogen:~$ sudo letsencrypt renew --dry-run
2016-08-30 09:26:57,807:WARNING:letsencrypt.cli:Attempting to renew cert from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/app4u.ml.conf produced an unexpected error: ‘server’. Skipping.
** DRY RUN: simulating ‘letsencrypt renew’ close to cert expiry
** (The test certificates below have not been saved.)

All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/app4u.ml/fullchain.pem (failure)
** DRY RUN: simulating ‘letsencrypt renew’ close to cert expiry
** (The test certificates above have not been saved.)

What can I do?

This looks to be related to Unexpected error: 'server'. Skipping

Maybe there is a bug with -dry-run. Can you use verbose mode (-vvv ) and paste the output, and the log

ran@hydrogen:~$ sudo letsencrypt renew -vvv --dry-run

Should I upload anything else?
