Unable to install certbot after installing linode-cli with pip

[willemdh]

Hello,

I stumbled on issues with installation of certbot after installing linode-cli with pip. As I had this on an Ansible generated server after I added:

- name: Install Python packages
  pip:
    name: "{{item}}"
    state: present
  with_items:
    - linode-cli

Error with yum install certbot

Error unpacking rpm package python-urllib3-1.10.2-5.el7.noarch

Not sure how or where this should be resolved.. Please also check certbot/certbot#6245.

Grtz

Willem

Thanks for the report. As the issue you linked to suggests, this looks like a dependency mismatch between pip and yum. For best results, you should install certbot through pip as well (pip install certbot) instead of using an outside package manager for it.

Assuming this is a system configuration issue. Feel free to @ me if this issue is still occurring 🙂
