Description:
For the past few days `certbot-renew.service` on one of my servers has been failing with the following error: ``` An unexpected error occurred: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'importlib-metadata>=4' distribution was not found and is required by dns-lexicon ``` These errors began on August 1st and seems to correspond with my upgrade of `dns-lexicon` from `3.9.2-1` to `3.11.3-1` on the same day. In my case, the actual dependency on `dns-lexicon` is from the `certbot-dns-luadns` package but I assume this affects any plugin that uses `dns-lexicon`. Manually installing the package `python-importlib-metadata 4.8.1-3` seems to fix the issue and allows `certbot-renew.service` to succeed. Additional info: * package version(s) * certbot 1.29.0-1 * certbot-dns-luadns 1.29.0-1 * dns-lexicon 3.11.3-1 * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any * It appears the importlib-metadata dependency was introduced with this PR: https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon/pull/1252 Steps to reproduce: 1. Installing certbot plugin with dns-lexicon dependency and configure it 2. Ensure `python-importlib-metadata` is *not* installed 3. Attempt to get a certificate for an invalid domain, e.g.: ``` # certbot certonly --dns-luadns -d "example.invalid" ``` Observe the error it returns: ``` An unexpected error occurred: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'importlib-metadata>=4' distribution was not found and is required by dns-lexicon Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /tmp/tmp7agyl0u5/log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details. ``` |
