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):

There are apt repositories from 3 different Ubuntu releases. And artful has been EOL for a year.

(One of them is the Certbot PPA, but you're executing certbot-auto, which doesn't use the PPA.)

certbot-auto isn't doing anything weird -- it's just running some apt-get commands to try to ensure some packages are installed.

I'd suggest making sure all the apt repositories are for the right version of Ubuntu -- bionic, you said -- and then see if it works. If not, try posting on an Ubuntu forum, or a community for the PPA at issue, if there is one.

(If you've upgraded to a newer release of Ubuntu, with newer packages, you may not even want to keep all of the PPAs enabled.)

Edit: You may want to consider switching from certbot-auto to the Certbot PPA -- or even the packages from Ubuntu's repositories -- but that's a separate issue from fixing the apt configuration.

thanks for the comments. This actually saved my time. I searched and found a full list of repos that I have just copied and pasted in the server’s list and it worked.
for any one who is looking for it:
