I've installed certbot a few months ago successfully in Debian and became a big fan, but now it keeps me giving the same error (see below) every time I try to install it.
I'm using Debian 8.8 64 bit.
In the two last weeks I've had to set up several servers and websites and had to use a recente Ubuntu server version, because of this.
Ubuntu is great, and based on Debian, but I usually prefer Debian stable, especially on server installs.
I understand this is the bug #861513, which is still open:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=861513
However, having googled then and now, I keep seeing some workarounds for other distros, like Arch, for example, but not for Debian.
Could there be a solution for solving this?
Here's what I've done:
I edited /etc/apt/sources.list and added this line:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
#apt-get update
#apt-get install python-certbot-apache -t jessie-backports
# certbot --apache

Any ideas?
