[Letsencrypt-devel] certbot in jessie-backports: seems to need python-dialog >= 3.2.2~rc1, but dependency is unversioned

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

certbot 0.8.1-2~bpo8+1 gives me the following Python traceback on
Jessie i386:

# certbot renew
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/certbot", line 5, in <module>

# apt-cache policy python-dialog
python-dialog:
  Installed: 2.7-1
  Candidate: 2.7-1
  Version table:
     3.3.0-2~bpo8+1 0

        500 http://debian.ethz.ch/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages

#

"apt install python-dialog=3.3.0-2~bpo8+1" fixed the problem.
