 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

i have tried installing yum-utils and package-cleanup --leaves but still the following error shows up. Can anyone tell me how to prevent this issue? thanks. btw my servers os-release

NAME="Amazon Linux AMI"
VERSION="2018.03"
ID="amzn"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="2018.03"
PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03"
ANSI_COLOR="0;33"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:amazon:linux:2018.03:ga"
HOME_URL="http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/"

Can anyone help me with this? I think if I could remove all these dependencies issues than I could install the python2-certbot-nginx and i could do ssl. Any help can i get? Thanks in advance.

I also faced similar issue a few months back in Amazon linux. Fixed this by installing certbot via pip. The commands that I used:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv ~/.certbot
source ~/.certbot/bin/activate
pip install 'setuptools<41'
pip install certbot
pip install 'parsedatetime<2.6'

Now simply generate the certificate by issuing below command

sudo ~/.certbot/bin/certbot certonly --webroot -w /usr/share/nginx/html/example -d example.com

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
