Description KrisMa 2023-10-23 12:43:23 UTC
The OVH DNS service changed the response to dns-01 challenges, which makes certificate update fail. As only dns-01 challenges allow creating wildcard certs this is quite critical to fix and these Letsencrypt certificates will expire very soon.

This was fixed in Certbot 2.7.2 which is already in Fedora Rawhide but due to the severity and time critical issue, needs to be backported to 37/38/39.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try making a dns-01 certificate challenge with OVH
2. Fails with "certbot-dns-ovh failed with Error adding TXT record: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)" error
Actual Results:  
certbot-dns-ovh failed with Error adding TXT record: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Expected Results:  
Sould update TXT records for dns-01 challenge to succeed.
