Update your client software to continue using let's encrypt

Help

from the error it sounds like I have to update my certbot client, but I just want to make sure there is no other part to this I have to do.

because before doing anything, I upgraded

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade certbot

and got the message:

certbot is already the newest version (0.31.0-1+ubuntu16.04.1+certbot+1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Am I really finished without doing anything?

my certbot does not appear to be the latest version. Is that the problem? I can't upgrade it.

The error comes from the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade certbot

The title of this topic is:

Where did you receive that message?

you may need to check your configuration files for each domain you are trying to renew.

the configuration file may have a setting which points to a renewal server which is using version 01

change it to version 02
