Issue

This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by m.navie

Output of “Sudo lynis show version“:

“Unknown option ‘ssl-certificate-paths-to-ignore’ found (with value: /etc/letsencrypt/archive:)“

Background: Installed lynis, but couldn’t figure out how to use it – got stuck on changing the parameters following a guide. Tried using another guide, which included installing lynis again, and got this error.

Tried purging and removing lynis, but got this error again after reinstalling.

During the purge got:

“Purging configuration files for lynis (3.0.8-100) …
dpkg: warning: while removing lynis, directory ‘/etc/lynis’ not empty so not removed

Purging configuration files for menu (2.1.47ubuntu4) …“

Interestingly, after removing, the output of “show version” was “2.6.6“, although running the purge and auto-remove commands again showed that lynis was, infact, removed.
