Certbot installation fails on CentOS 7 due to broken dependencies
I'm looking at CentOS 7 and see that certbot is in the EPEL repository. However, when I go to install it, the installation fails because it is insisting on specific, outdated versions of several packages. Here is one:
I have not used CentOS or its predecessors very much over the decades due to this kind of thing. What is the best and/or easiest way to resolve the dependency conflict?
Try installing the older version of the utilities by specifying the package name in yum https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/in...rhel-centos-7/ it might install along side the new or you might have to uninstall the newer and install the older version

Get in contact with the author of the package, it seems the one in epel is for an older version of RHEL/CentOS 7, for which there have been 6 point-updates already (so the current one is 7.6 and does have minor version updates in its packages from the original release).
