Unable to insert label

My domain is: seibercom.net

I ran this command: certbot renew --apache --deploy-hook "service dovecot restart"

It produced this output: Failed to renew certificate seibercom.net with error: Unable to insert label !

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.48 (FreeBSD)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE-p9

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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): certbot 1.17.0

The third line seems rather odd.
Please show that file:
/usr/local/etc/apache24/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Here is the file. I have not touched it in over two years and it never had a problem before. I had to rename it to a text file so I could upload it.

Sorry, this is a bug which appeared in Certbot 1.17.0 and it will be fixed as soon as 1.18.0 is out in the next monthly release.

In the meantime, if you could uncomment any one of the directives in the VirtualHost between lines 34-61, things should start working again. (Or even commenting out the entire VirtualHost, if you're not using it).

Thanks, that fixed the problem, at least for now.
