Bug Description

The certbot agent on 18.04 LTS is too old to automatically create accounts at LetsEncrypt. When trying to run something like:

certbot certonly -m <email address hidden> -n --agree-tos -d www.example.com

The following message is returned and no cert is generated:

acme.messages.Error: urn:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Account creation on ACMEv1 is disabled. Please upgrade your ACME client to a version that supports ACMEv2 / RFC 8555. See https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/end-of-life-plan-for-acmev1/88430 for details.

During October, this will happen when LetsEncrypt is running an ACMEv1 "brownout". See https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/end-of-life-plan-for-acmev1/88430 for details.

No newer version is available in bionic-backports.
