Trouble with certbot

Help
1

Hi everyone

My domain is: uniatitude.com.br
I ran this command: certbot-auto [with any option]
It produced this output:
Bootstrapping dependencies for RedHat-based OSes… (you can skip this with --no-bootstrap)
yum is /usr/bin/yum
To use Certbot, packages from the EPEL repository need to be installed.
Enable the EPEL repository and try running Certbot again.

My web server is (include version):
Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)
Server built: Jun 19 2018 15:45:13
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
CentOS 6.

I can login to a root shell on my machine: (yes or no, or I don’t know): YES
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): NO

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

No correct answer… just this answer

certbot-auto --version
Bootstrapping dependencies for RedHat-based OSes… (you can skip this with --no-bootstrap)
yum is /usr/bin/yum
To use Certbot, packages from the EPEL repository need to be installed.
Enable the EPEL repository and try running Certbot again.

It was working very well but, i dont know why, became a problem to me!
I reinstalled certbot and still have the same problem.
The reported message does not tell me which EPEL to enable.

I installed EPEL repo, and certbot -v report

Creating virtual environment…

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

my certificate directory still ok on /etc/letsencrypt but My certificates will expire in a few days.

Please, help me.

What does this show?

yum list epel-release; echo $?

To me, the error message suggests that Certbot could not find the epel-release package available to be installed. It is in the CentOS extras repo, which should be enabled by default.

I did an EPEL (x86) update, but you reminded me that in case I need EPEL noarch. Perhaps it will solve this problem with certbot’s autoupdates.
I’ll test and give you a feedback.

and the winer is… I enabled EPEL noarch and everything went well, updates were made…
but only on my user account but not on the root account.
BTW ssl certificate was renewed.
