"status: pending" persists forever after an ACME response was sent successfully

[hrs-allbsd]

POST requests to https://acme.castle.cloud:443/acme/authz/xxx always return with "status: pending," and eventually, cli.py fails with the "All authorizations were not finalized by the CA" error message. This is almost the same symptom as #39. Is this a problem on the server side, or is something wrong with the client? The log file was something like this:

I have the same issue using the interactive approach using version 0.14.1. See the command I ran:

python3 cli.py cert --config-dir . --work-dir . --logs-dir . -e [email protected] [email protected] --usage digitalSignature --usage keyEncipherment --usage contentCommitment --usage keyAgreement --passphrase XXXXXXXXXXX

I get the email and send the requested response back and wait until I am met with:

For what it's worth, I re-ran the same code and encountered the following error:

An unexpected error occurred:
wrong keyUsage extension

After I removed the --usage keyAgreement flag, it correctly issued the certificate.
