I just finished installing letsencrypt on CENTOS 6.7, generating and installing certs after lots of troubleshooting
However somewhere in the middle of the process i had to uninstall python tools to able able to continue (it was installing python27 since the server was running python26)
Today i get a warning email from my server that it couldn’t update because of conflicts:
