I am trying to update Certbot from 0.10.2 to some version with support to ACME 2 in Debian 9.1 with Python 2.7.9.
apt-cache policy certbot
certbot:
Installed: 0.10.2-1
Candidate: 0.28.0-1~deb9u2

100 http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports/main amd64 Packages
*** 0.10.2-1 100

From here, this is what I am trying:
echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main">>/etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install python-certbot-nginx -t stretch-backports

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.28) but 2.24-11+deb9u1 is to be installed
Recommends: manpages-dev but it is not going to be installed
libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.28-10) but 2.24-11+deb9u1 is to be installed
locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.28) but 2.24-11+deb9u1 is to be installed
python-certbot-nginx : Depends: python3-certbot-nginx but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Any idea? This is a production server.
EDIT:
So apparently I have installed some packages from the Debian 10 in Debian 9. Since I can't do anything with apt, I am trying to solve the dependencies with aptitude.
(venv)root@deb64:/home/x/# aptitude -V -s install libc6-dev=2.24-11+deb9u4
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
libc6-dev{b} [2.28-10 -> 2.24-11+deb9u4]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libc-dev-bin{u} [2.28-10]
The following packages will be upgraded:
libc6 [2.24-11+deb9u1 -> 2.24-11+deb9u4] linux-libc-dev [4.9.30-2+deb9u5 -> 4.9.210-1]
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
libc-l10n locales{b} man-db
2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 1 to remove and 235 not upgraded.
Need to get 6,539 kB of archives. After unpacking 3,561 kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev : Depends: libc-dev-bin (= 2.24-11+deb9u4) but it is not going to be installed
locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.28) but 2.24-11+deb9u1 is installed and it is kept back
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) locales [2.28-10 (now)]
2) task-english [3.39 (now, oldstable)]
Install the following packages:
3) locales-all [2.24-11+deb9u4 (oldstable)]
Upgrade the following packages:
4) postgresql-9.4 [9.4.13-0+deb8u1 (now) -> 9.4.26-2.pgdg90+1 (stretch-pgdg)]
5) postgresql-9.6 [9.6.4-0+deb9u1 (now) -> 9.6.18-1.pgdg90+1 (stretch-pgdg)]
6) postgresql-contrib-9.4 [9.4.13-0+deb8u1 (now) -> 9.4.26-2.pgdg90+1 (stretch-pgdg)]
7) postgresql-contrib-9.6 [9.6.4-0+deb9u1 (now) -> 9.6.18-1.pgdg90+1 (stretch-pgdg)]
Downgrade the following packages:
8) libc-dev-bin [2.28-10 (now) -> 2.24-11+deb9u4 (oldstable)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
It's safe to the system if I accept this solution?
