Hello,  
I installed ansible on Amazon Linux from EPEL and when I run ansible-playbook I am seeing the following output:

{“status”:1,“request”:“fcd249e3686b4ea356853a8f75d8f5fe”}

/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Crypto/Util/number.py:57: PowmInsecureWarning: Not using mpz\_powm\_sec. You should rebuild using libgmp \>= 5 to avoid timing attack vulnerability.

\_warn(“Not using mpz\_powm\_sec. You should rebuild using libgmp \>= 5 to avoid timing attack vulnerability.”, PowmInsecureWarning)

Should I be concerned? Should I change something? This Amazon Linux is an Elastic Agent for bamboo that I am using to orchestrate my cluster at the moment.

Thanks for your help,

Using an EL5 based OS to run Ansible is pretty unusual now since we require Python 2.6.  
(aka no EL 5)

There is also logic to catch warning noise from paramiko imports now – what version of Ansible are you using?

```auto

```
