Re: Cannot rollback addition of repository



Greetings,

The stretch repository already has certbot and python-certbot-apache.

This may seem silly, but did you run "apt update" before trying to
install certbot and python-certbot-apache on your first try.

I think you did rollback the addition of the repository and installed
the packages from the stretch repository and not stretch-backports.

Can you send the output of "apt show certbot python-certbot-apache -a"?
