Problem to install Let's Encrypt on Oracle Linux Server 8.7

How do I install Let's Encrypt on Oracle Linux Server 8.7?

Here's the error I get when I try to install certbot.

"Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8
Last metadata expiration check: 0:31:35 ago on Thu Apr 27 14:36:51 2023.
Error:
Problem: package python3-certbot-nginx-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch requires python3.6dist(certbot) >= 1.22.0, but none of the providers can be installed

  • conflicting requests
  • nothing provides python3.6dist(distro) >= 1.0.1 needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
    (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I tried with the command.
yum install certbot
dnf install python3-certbot
I tried downloading other repositories, but it didn't work.

@Yuu While you wait to see if a Certbot dev or install expert can help did you know there are many other ACME Clients available?

acme.sh is popular and is just a shell script. See the Let's Encrypt list of ACME Clients below
