Package: python-certbot
Version: 0.9.3-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

Trying to install python-certbot (really letsencrypt), running into two
dependency issues, one with python-certbot itself and the other with an
indirect dependency python-acme has.

p-c depends on a newer version of python-cryptography than is available, and
depends on python-acme which depends on a newer version of python-openssl
than is available.

$ sudo apt install python-certbot python-acme
