I am running Ansible on Ubuntu 20.04.
I’d like to use the community.general.xml module.
I get a “ModuleNotFoundError” relating to lxml when I try to run the playbook.
I tried sudo apt-get install python3-lxml
There were errors toward the end of the process:
…

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
…and I still get the same error when running the playbook.
Note (in case this matters): when I run ansible --version, I get:
