Debian – Failing to install certbot on debian jessie

certbotdebian

I've followed the instructions at https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions/#debian-8-jessie-nginx but cannot install certbot:

sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install certbot

Reading package lists… Done E: The value 'jessie-backports' is invalid for
APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

Hints appreciated

Best Answer

did you follow instructions above that to enable backports? You need to add

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list
