Has anyone had issues with their playbooks running after upgrading from 2.13 to 2.14 of ansible? I kept getting run error from my cisco.\* playbooks. My linux playbooks worked fine however. I backed out the upgrade and now my cisco.\* playbooks work again  
Is there a specific upgrade process to follow, such as python3 -m pip install ansible==7.6.0 --user? I ran the typical dnf upgrade -y. Thank you!

The full traceback is:

Hii

> From what you posted, it is not clear what the working situation

consists of, and what the 'upgrade' version consists of.  
Right now I see a mix of "dnf" which implies an OS provided package,  
but you also have one (or more) collection(s) installed in root's home  
directory.  
Your suggestion of adding "pip install --user" to the mix will likely  
get you further from home.

I haven't read the official installation docs for a while  
([https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation\_guide/intro\_installation.html#installing-and-upgrading-ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#installing-and-upgrading-ansible))  
but those now seem to suggest that the pip installation method is the  
supported way of installing it (which I would agree with).  
So ideally you'd remove the OS package(s) and just use the pip method  
as per above instructions.
