Package: letsencrypt Version: 0.4.1-1~bpo8+1 Severity: normal I don't quite understand how i got into this situation. I just installed the letsencrypt package from backport - i was using LE using a virtualenv built from the git repo ("cf218dd Release 0.3.0") before.
That created a "renewal" file which I am trying to use now: # letsencrypt -c /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/wiki.reseaulibre.ca.conf --renew-by-default usage: letsencrypt [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d domain] [-d domain] ... The Let's Encrypt agent can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates. By default, it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the cert. Major SUBCOMMANDS are: (default) run Obtain & install a cert in your current webserver certonly Obtain cert, but do not install it (aka "auth") install Install a previously obtained cert in a server renew Renew previously obtained certs that are near expiry revoke Revoke a previously obtained certificate rollback Rollback server configuration changes made during install config_changes Show changes made to server config during installation plugins Display information about installed plugins letsencrypt: error: prepare is a flag but is being set to 'False' There is indeed a "prepare" flag in the config, but it was put there by the LE client - i certainly didn't customize that file myself, or at least, not that I remember. Even if I comment out that parameter, a ton more yield the same error.
