In the CI for `community.hashi_vault`, I’m seeing new failures in `devel` when I try to use `community.crypto.openssl_privatekey` where it seems that ansible cannot resolve the module anymore.

In 2.18 this still works fine.

I didn’t see anything merged in devel that would appear to affect that but I’m assuming I missed something, but I’m out of ideas as to why this is happening.

You’re setting `ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS`, but not `ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH`. Support for `ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS` will be removed from ansible-core 2.19, and the current devel branch apparently already did that.
