Package : python-certbot
Version : 0.28.0-1~deb9u3
Debian Bug : 969126

Let's Encrypt's ACMEv1 API is deprecated and in the process of being
shut down. Beginning with brownouts in January 2021, and ending with
a total shutdown in June 2021, the Let's Encrypt APIs will become
unavailable. To prevent users having disruptions to their certificate
renewals, this update backports the switch over to the ACMEv2 API.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
0.28.0-1~deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-certbot packages.
