This role requires a few preparations, please see requirements.yml and example prepare playbook.

@robertdebock there is no option to reopen the issue in this repo, but basically, if I run the exact prepare.yml in the documentation, I get the same error:

ansible-playbook prepare.yml -i inventory -K

Hm, especially this line is pretty weird:

failed: [127.0.0.1] (item=python3-apt) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "python3-apt", "msg": "Could not import python modules: apt, apt_pkg. Please install python3-apt package."}

In human readable: "installing python3-apt failes please install python3-apt.".

I can't reproduce this issue, neither locally, nor in CI. There must be something different in your environment compared to mine. Let's analyse.

item	you	me
ansible --version	2.10.3	2.10.4
role bootstrap version	?	4.3.8

I'm wondering does any package installation work for you? Is the error you're seeing generic for any task that installs a package, on only for this obs role?

I'll reopen the issue, and will move it to the bootstrap repository.

[robertdebock]

So a couple of questions:

1. Does ansible --module-name apt --args "name=screen" --inventory localhost, all --connection local --become --ask-become-pass work?
2. I'm wondering does any package installation work for you?
3. What version do you use for the roles, specifically bootstrap.

@robertdebock

1. No, it seems ansible cannot identify correctly my python interpreter (but it works for when the playbook does not use apt. Output:

[WARNING]: Unhandled error in Python interpreter discovery for host localhost: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'
[WARNING]: Updating cache and auto-installing missing dependency: python3-apt
[WARNING]: Platform linux on host localhost is using the discovered Python interpreter at /home/static/.pyenv/shims/python3.7, but future installation of another Python interpreter could change the
meaning of that path. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more information.
localhost | FAILED! => {
    "ansible_facts": {

    },
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "Could not import python modules: apt, apt_pkg. Please install python3-apt package."
}

I changed a bit your command to reproduce the error to: ansible localhost --module-name apt --args "name=screen" --connection local --become --ask-become-pass. Then I get the same old error.

2. No.

3. The version of roles I am using:
   bootstrap: 4.3.8
   epel: 2.5.5
   rpmfusion: 1.3.6
   obsproject: 1.3.6

UPDATE: I just created an upstream issue on ansible: ansible/ansible#73075

[robertdebock]

Ah, okay, cool that you have created the issue on ansible/ansible. Let's wait for some response there.

Thanks!

I will close this one.. the answer was that:

The python3-apt library is only available to the system Python and not available in virtual environments. When you are using the implicit localhost it is necessary to specify the system Python interpreter. On a task, you would have to define ansible_python_interpreter.
