hey there, i'm trying to manage a bunch of centos5/rhel5 systems with ansible 2.7.5
On the target host I am able to install python 2.6 from epel which is all good and ansible runs just fine for most stuff. The issue is with anything related to packages (ie . package_facts and package). They both rely on the "rpm" python library. Problem is, I can't figure out how to install this library on centos 5. It seems the library is not available in epel <https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/5/x86_64/> I tried building from source <https://pypi.org/project/rpm/#files> but I then get the error below: # python26 Python 2.6.8 (unknown, Nov 7 2012, 14:47:45) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import rpm rpm.py:15: UserWarning: The RPM Python bindings are not currently available via PyPI. Please install them with your distro package manager (typically called 'python2-rpm' or 'python3-rpm'), and ensure that any virtual environments needing the API are configured to be able to see the system site packages directory. warnings.warn(warning_msg) >>> If I can't get this working, I guess my only options are to either just not manage packages on the legacy centos/rhel5 boxes or see about running an older version (multiple versions) of ansible within AWX. Just wondering if anyone has went through this already and can provide any tips. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
