Ansible-test included in ansible-core devel replaced its Ubuntu 22.04 test container image and VM image with Ubuntu 26.04: [ansible-test - Replace Ubuntu 22.04 with 26.04 by mattclay · Pull Request #86894 · ansible/ansible · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86894)

If you’re using Ubuntu 22.04 in CI with ansible-core devel, you need to update your CI matrix. Ubuntu 24.04 is still supported by ansible-core devel’s ansible-test.
