ansible-core 2.13 is enough for casual use. If you really feel the  
need up update, delete that copy owned by the root user.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sudo -i  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pip3 uninstall ansible-core

Then install a more recent python, if it's available. On RHEL 8 or 9,  
simply doing this will pull in a recent ansible-core and the updated  
python as well.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sudo -i  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;dnf install ansible-core
