Package: certbot
Version: 2.1.0-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
This is a Debian 12 system with sysvinit startup.
Certbot fails to do automatic renewals; reason unknown.
On attempting to do a manual renewal
certbot certonly
the message
"AttributeError: can't set attribute" is produced after
entering the domain names.
The error was consistent for several attempts. The error
is reported to be solved in version 2.3.0, but the available
version is 2.1.0-4. It was not possible to do a snapd
install of a modern certbot as the system is sysvinit,
not systemd. A pip install also failed. After deleting
the /etc/letsencrypt directory, removing and reinstalling
certbot several times, and more attempts at obtaining a
certificate, certbot finally succeeded - reason unknown,
many things were tried.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Successful obtaining of a certificate.

Makes sense to me! Closing this ticket.
