Hi Thorsten,
this is somewhat similar to #1111137, where Ed also asked for a backport of a
patch to support running ansible from bookworm against a target on trixie.
This is generally not supported, I've explained the rationale here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1111137#10
I don't think we should deviate from the support matrix provides by upstream, as
I expect a few dozen bugs when running against trixie hosts.
Greetings,
Lee

The community.docker collection of the bin:ansible package embeds
a courtesy copy of docker-py.
The module fails to connect to servers when the managed node has
a python3-requests version of 1.32 or up (such as trixie).

This is https://github.com/docker/docker-py/pull/3257 which also
contains a fix that needs to be applied to ansible in, at least,
oldstable (didn’t check stable), to be able to manage trixie hosts.
The fix is two lines plus a comment.
(installed is 7.7.0+dfsg-3+deb12u1 but I dropped the + to not
confuse bts version tracking)
