Letsencrypt ImportError: No module named interface on amazon linux while renewing

Question

Today when i tried to renew my certificates using this command I\'m facing error

/opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto renew --config /etc/letse         


        

Answer 1

Part of the issue for me was related to some strange default behavior around 64 bit packages installing, but not being picked up by python. After getting this issue [it's mostly installed at this point], run the following [assuming it tries to install in /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/]

cd /root/.local/share/letsencrypt
\cp -r ./venv/lib64/* ./venv/lib/

Then retry the command. The install locations of the python virtual environment change with different versions and operating systems, but the general principle has helped me debug two different installs.
