Package: ansible Version: 2.9.16+dfsg-1.1 Severity: important
Hi,
this ansible version ships with a broken symlink in
/usr/bin/ansible-connection pointing to:
flo@p5:/usr/bin$ ls -la ansible-connection
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 Jan 6 11:56 ansible-connection ->
../lib/ansible/cli/scripts/ansible_connection_cli_stub.py
which does not exist. This connection for example
routeros targets fails with:
task path: /home/flo/projects/customer/routeros/playbook.yml:2
fatal: [ros1]: FAILED! => {
"msg": "Unable to find location of 'ansible-connection'. Please set or
check the value of ANSIBLE_CONNECTION_PATH"
}
I fixed it with:
flo@p5:/usr/bin$ sudo rm ansible-connection
flo@p5:/usr/bin$ sudo ln -s
../lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/cli/scripts/ansible_connection_cli_stub.py
ansible-connection
