Solution

The problem is the end of life of ACMEv1

The only solution is to upgrade certbot, in case of Debian 8, you need to upgrade to Debian 9 in order to get a recent enough version of certbot.

$ sudo apt-get install certbot

Solution

Install PHP 7.4.X instead (such as 7.4.12 at the time of writing), which uses pkg-config instead and goes around that error.

But then you might run into

configure: error: re2c 0.13.4 is required to generate PHP lexers.

Which can be fixed with

apt-get install re2c

Then you might run into
checking for sqlite3 > 3.7.4... no
configure: error: Package requirements (sqlite3 > 3.7.4) were not met:

No package 'sqlite3' found

apt-get install  libsqlite3-dev sqlite3

Then you might run into

checking for oniguruma... no
configure: error: Package requirements (oniguruma) were not met:

No package 'oniguruma' found

apt-get install libonig-dev

Finally success !!

Copy/paste the PUBKEY you are having trouble with in the command below:
$ apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E9C74FEEA2098A6E

Alternate Solution

$ sudo aptitude install debian-archive-keyring
