Still having issues with Confconsole Let's Encrypt plugin with DNS-01 challenge setup

[JedMeister]

As reported by Mark in the forums, despite spending a ton of time and energy on fixing it (see #1876) it seems that there are still issues with the setup component of Confconsole Let's Encrypt plugin - DNS-01 challenge. 😢

I'm 99.9% certain that I explicitly tested that exact same appliance (v18.0 OpenLDAP) prior to release (albeit in a VM rather than a container), but still it's not quite right. I can only assume that there is some race condition somewhere in the code?

I note that after following the manual instructions I gave him (which I copy/pasted from #1876 (comment) - which essentially does what the python code does) he got it working.

However, I also note that he also said:

I had to pip install python3.1-venv but otherwise worked

And in the original issue thread zndrr noted:

apt install python3.11-venv

Was required.

That particular Debian package (and the python3.1-venv noted by Mark) should be essentially the same. I also note that the python3.11-venv Debian package is a dependency of python3-venv which is what Confconsole should be installing!?

So despite the fact that it seemed to work ok for me, my guess is that it is indeed a race condition and it occurs when installing python3-venv from Debian!?

I've pinned this to the v18.1 milestone, but ideally I'd like to look a bit closer sooner than that.
