Turns out I shat myself and didn't correctly configured whatever backport repository I'm supposed to configure to reinstall certbot or some other shit.

I fucking hate Debian/APT for this.

Also, WHY THE FUCK DO I NEED TO DO THAT KIND OF STUFF IN THE FIRST PLACE AAAAAAAAA

Shit all you want on NPM and the Node ecosystem but at least I don't have to fight against repositories, package managers that all have their weird quirks, and Stackoverflow responses that are like "uuhhhh I patched the file manually and it's fixed"

If certbot is packaged for Debian 9, why the fuck do I need to do that backport thingy??

Honestly I'll legit remove my websites and migrate to Netlify in the coming months, this way I can wipe this dedicated server and just use it as a download box from scratch and never touch it ever again

At least certbot is fixed now. At least the whole Let's Encrypt thing is free because clearly running my own thing has been a pain in the ass since the beginning

@Eramdam I use certbot on Debian 9 straight from the standard repository. I don't know why you need to use backports for that :/.

@Sylvhem idk the website told me to do that and if I didn't do it it would not work at all ¯\(ツ)/¯ ¯\(ツ)/¯ ¯\(ツ)/¯ ¯\(ツ)/¯

@Eramdam @Sylvhem I feel like the go-to answer is most likely "someone dun goofed", but what specific part was goofed is anyone's guess. 😕

@Sylvhem @Eramdam (Though, after the fart-on with ejabberd I've had in the past... it's probably the docs)

@Eramdam That's really weird…I just used "apt install certbot".

@Sylvhem Probably would have worked but given my lack of confidence with Debian, I wish the docs would make a bit of sense, but that's too much to ask apparently
