Package: certbot
Version: 1.18.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Thank you very much for generously sharing your
time and skill.
It's not a crisis, but I humbly suggest improving
a certain error message to lead users to faster
fixes.
When I do
root$ certbot certonly --apache --manual --dry-run
certbot complains with
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Too many flags setting configurators/installers/authenticators 'apache' ->
'manual'
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org.
See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v
for more details.
The fix appears to be
root$ certbot certonly -i apache -a manual --dry-run
Maybe certbot's error message could be improved from
Too many flags setting configurators/installers/authenticators 'apache' ->
'manual'
to something more helpful like
Try rep[acing "--apache --manual" with "-i apache -a manual".
So it is said.
So it is done.
Reporting bugs may be fun, but
thanking maintainers is number one!
Thanks,
Kingsley
