Certbot: CentOS 7: No package certbot available.

Created on 7 Jul 2016 · 3Comments · Source: certbot/certbot

I'm having a little trouble installing certbot on CentOS 7 -- I've run sudo yum install epel-release:

[centos@jump-1 ~]$ sudo yum install epel-release
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.solarvps.com
 * epel: mirror.us.leaseweb.net
 * extras: mirrors.lga7.us.voxel.net
 * updates: mirror.datto.com
Package epel-release-7-6.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

but sudo yum install certbot comes up:

[centos@jump-1 ~]$ sudo yum install certbot
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.solarvps.com
 * epel: mirror.symnds.com
 * extras: mirrors.lga7.us.voxel.net
 * updates: mirrors.advancedhosters.com
No package certbot available.
Error: Nothing to do

What should I be trying?

fedora / redhat / CentOS

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction -- I apparently had a bad epel.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d -- I rmed it, removed epel-release, cleared the yum cache, and re-installed epel-release, and it works now.
