Bonjour,

Environnement:
3 Machines tournant sous Vagrant

  • Ubuntu (controlplane)

  • Ubuntu (node)

  • CentOS10 (node)

  • Exécution du playbook sur node Ubuntu = exécution correct pas d’erreur.

  • Exécution du playbook sur node centos = Retourne une erreur.

  • Exécution du playbook sur node Ubuntu et centos = retourne une erreur.
    Le playbook refuse de s’exécuter une le node CentOS!

PS: python est bien à jour sur le node CentOS
PS: même problématique avec environnement fedora.

  • my code Error!

Gros blocage sur ce probléme depuis deux jour, donc, par avance merci pour votre contribution et aide.

What version of Ansible are you using, and what version of python is /usr/bin/python on the centos node?

vagrant@controlplane:~/ansible_course$ ansible --version
ansible 2.10.8
config file = /home/vagrant/ansible_course/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [‘/home/vagrant/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 3.10.12 (main, Aug 15 2025, 14:32:43) [GCC 11.4.0]
vagrant@controlplane:~/ansible_course$

[vagrant@node06 ~]$ python3 --version
Python 3.12.11
[vagrant@node06 ~]$ python3 -VV
Python 3.12.11 (main, Aug 14 2025, 00:00:00) [GCC 14.3.1 20250617 (Red Hat 14.3.1-2)]

Two issues:

  1. Your ansible version is really old. I think 2.17 is the oldest, supported version right now. Did you install by package manager? If so, I would uninstall that and use pip to install it

  2. You listed the wrong python version. Do /usr/bin/python --version or python --version. python3 is a completely different install and one that ansible is not using

5

  1. Yes, ansible was installed by package manager
    Moreover i just try a apt command
    vagrant@controlplane:~/ansible_course$ sudo apt install ansible
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree… Done
    Reading state information… Done
    ansible is already the newest version (2.10.7+merged+base+2.10.8+dfsg-1).
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
    vagrant@controlplane:~/ansible_course$

  2. [vagrant@node06 ~]$ /usr/bin/python --version
    Python 3.12.11
    [vagrant@node06 ~]$ python --version
    Python 3.12.11

Thanks Sir.

hi,

install python3 and pip on Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install software-properties-common

sudo add-apt-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible

#Install Ansible
sudo apt install ansible -y

# finx broken install
sudo apt --fix-broken install

#Validate Ansible:
ansible ---version 
ansible [core 2.17.14]

Everything is running fine now, i think, topic can be closed.
