I went to https://certbot.eff.org/#debianjessie-apache and read the install command “sudo apt-get install python-letsencrypt-apache -t jessie-backports”. After i run this command it results in an error:
root@server1:~# apt-get install python-letsencrypt-apache -t jessie-backports
Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen… Klaar
E: Een waarde ‘jessie-backports’ voor APT::Default-Release is ongeldig, aangezien een dergelijke uitgave niet voorkomt in de bronnen
This dutch and means:
Package lists are read … done
A value ‘Jessie-backports’ for APT::Default-Release is not valid, since such an issue is not present in the sources.
What can I do to successfully install certbot with apt-get on my Debian 8.4 (Jessie) with Apache 2.4.
Oh yes ofcourse thank you. I never used backports before.
Oke wen i create the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list and run apt-get update i tried the certbot install command again this time again a error:
Sommige pakketten konden niet geïnstalleerd worden. Dit kan betekenen dat u om een onmogelijke situatie gevraagd heeft, of, indien u de distributie 'unstable' gebruikt, dat sommige benodigde pakketten nog gemaakt moeten worden of uit 'Incoming' verwijderd werden. De volgende informatie kan misschien helpen de situatie op te lossen:
De volgende pakketten hebben niet-voldane vereisten:
_ python-letsencrypt-apache : Vereisten: letsencrypt (>= 0.5.0~) maar het zal niet geïnstalleerd worden_
_ Vereisten: python-letsencrypt maar het zal niet geïnstalleerd worden_ E: Kan problemen niet verhelpen, u houdt defecte pakketten vast.
This is again in dutch below the google translation:
Some packages could not be installed. This can mean You have requested an impossible situation or if you use the distribution 'unstable', that some required packages have yet to be made or were removed from "Incoming". The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unpaid requirements:
_ python-letsencrypt apache: Requirements: letsencrypt (> = 0.5.0 ~) but it will not be installed_
_ Requirements: python-letsencrypt but it will not be installed_ E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I see this error as well. It seems the python-letsencrypt has gone missing from the backports repository.
apt-get install letsencrypt -t jessie-backports

is available, in the right version, i check for all the dependencies and all of theme are present, in the right version...
edit: Strange, i edit my source.list to set an official repo (from ftp.debian.org to ftp.fr.debian.org). Then apt-get install letsencrypt -t jessie-backports always give me an error but when i type
apt-get install -t jessie-backports certbot
everything goes fine (except for the python-letsencrypt-apache):
1 mis à jour, 27 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 50 non mis à jour.
Sorry about that; the upgrade in backports took a bit longer than expected, so we ended up breaking some installs over the weekend.
You should be able to install everything correctly with: apt-get install -t jessie-backports certbot or apt-get install -t jessie-backports certbot python-certbot-apache, depending on whether you need Apache support.
A moment ago I run:
apt-get update
apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoclean
apt-get install -f
Then
apt-get install python-letsencrypt-apache -t jessie-backports
I still get this error when running the apt-get command above:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: certbot : Depends: python-certbot (= 0.8.0-1~bpo8+2) but it is not going to be installed python-certbot-apache : Depends: python-certbot but it is not going to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I’m still getting the same problem described here, even though I enabled the backports.
I’ve done:
adding this to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
enabling the backports:
sudo apt-get update
but I still get the error.
$ sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports certbot python-certbot-apache
Reading package lists... Done
E: The value 'jessie-backports' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
The order of the arguments don’t change the result, apt-get install python-certbot-apache -t jessie-backports and apt-get install -t jessie-backports python-certbot-apache results the same.
