I just wanted to update some Let’s encrypt Certs that are about to run out manually and got this error message.

$ certbot

I’ve installed certbot plus the cloudflare DNS plugin via apt

$ dpkg -l | grep certbot
ii  certbot                                1.21.0-1build1                          all          automatically configure HTTPS using Let's Encrypt
ii  python3-certbot                        1.21.0-1build1                          all          main library for certbot
ii  python3-certbot-dns-cloudflare         1.18.0-1                                all          Cloudflare DNS plugin for Certbot

$ pip3 freeze  | grep certbot
certbot==1.21.0
certbot-dns-cloudflare==1.18.0

So, from what I understand I installed some newer OpenSSL libraries via pip but /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/OpenSSL/crypto.py is dated September 29 2021.

Could someone please point me to how I can get out of this mess.
System: plain, up to date ubuntu jammy on amd64.

Thank you,
Mike

Tried removing certbot via apt to see if I somehow installed another version via a dependency via pip, I did not.
