Snap package incompatible with Certbot 3.0

[DaHoC]

On Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, the following command fails (since more or less than a month?):

sudo certbot certonly --authenticator dns-hetzner --dns-hetzner-credentials /path/to/hcloud_dns_token.ini --staple-ocsp --email <redacted>

with following error message:

The following plugins are using an outdated python version and must be updated to be compatible with Certbot 3.0. Please see https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/certbot-3-0-could-have-potential-third-party-snap-breakages/226940 for more information:
  * certbot-dns-hetzner
usage: 
  certbot [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...

Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates.  By default,
it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the
certificate. 
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --dns-hetzner-credentials /path/to/hcloud_dns_token.ini

sudo certbot plugins does not list the certbot-dns-hetzner plugin and displays the same message:

The following plugins are using an outdated python version and must be updated to be compatible with Certbot 3.0. Please see https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/certbot-3-0-could-have-potential-third-party-snap-breakages/226940 for more information:
  * certbot-dns-hetzner

Steps to reproduce:

On Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, install snapd and issue following commands:

sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo snap set certbot trust-plugin-with-root=ok
sudo snap install certbot-dns-hetzner
sudo snap connect certbot:plugin certbot-dns-hetzner
sudo snap connect certbot-dns-hetzner:certbot-metadata certbot:certbot-metadata

and afterwards, try the above command sudo certbot certonly --authenticator dns-hetzner ...

As an alternative working solution, I switched to using pip instead of snap as package manager for certbot, as recommended.

As far as I know, the snap install certbot-dns-hetzner actually installs the very outdated version of the plugin that this was forked from, https://github.com/BigMichi1/certbot-dns-hetzner/

See https://snapcraft.io/certbot-dns-hetzner for verification.
