Lynis wont work, 'error: Unknown option 'ssl-certificate-paths-to-ignore' found (with value: /etc/letsencrypt/archive:)

How do I correct/get rid of the following error? It prevents me from executing any lynis commands.

Output of "Sudo lynis show version" or any lynis command:

"Error: 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 (https://adamtheautomator.com/lynis/), which included installing lynis again, and got this error

Tried purging and removing lynis, but got this error again after reinstalling, because thought the error had occured when I had first tried to install and configure lynis.

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) ...".
