Ansible or python got messed up

Hi,

I’m running Ansible to manage our nodes from a shared server, for some reason every time I run Ansible it shows the bellow output on every task execution. As far as I know there were no updates in the system regarding the python version and that doesn’t seem to be related with a specific version of Ansible but it’s happening on the current devel and other stable versions that were working fine.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/nicolasg/ansible/lib/ansible/runner/connection_plugins/paramiko_ssh.py”, line 319, in close

I have also tried reverting the code back to an old state but that didn’t work either… any clue what’s going wrong ?

So this is attempting to read your host keys and is finding them confused.

Can you SSH normally using those keys/etc?

yes I can ssh using the keys like this :

ssh-agent bash

ssh-add ~/.ssh/login-key
