Package: ansible Version: 2.9.16+dfsg-1.1 Severity: important I set up a fresh bullseye host (upgraded from a base buster installation) and it has python3.7 and python3.9 installed. I think that python3.7 is left over from buster and should probably be removed from the host (apt-get autoremove does so). However, I expect this is a common scenario after an upgrade.
if I run my base playbook in check mode it tells me to install python3-apt, but that is already installed on the target. The reason is that python3-apt in bullseye only provides the module for python3.9, but ansible tries to run python3.7. The following patch fixes this: --- /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/config/base.yml.bak 2021-02-19 22:34:00.363529032 +0000 +++ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/config/base.yml 2021-02-19 22:34:08.987398189 +0000 @@ -1462,6 +1462,7 @@ name: Ordered list of Python interpreters to check for in discovery default: - /usr/bin/python + - python3.9 - python3.7 - python3.6 - python3.5 Something similar is available upstream: <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/c986cbb9961bfaedf1a6ae7f0c2e34be26d9ab12> Please consider applying this fix in the version of ansible shipped with bullseye so that bullseye hosts can manage bullseye hosts out of the box.
