Bug#1108514: Vagrant gathered an unknown Ansible version: and falls back on the compatibility mode '1.8'

[Domenico Andreoli]

Package: vagrant
Version: 2.3.7+git20230731.5fc64cde+dfsg-3+b1
Severity: normal

Hi,

When I provison a VM with Ansible I get this output:

 cut here 
 INFO subprocess: Starting process: ["/usr/bin/python3", "-c", "\"import 
importlib.metadata; print('ansible ' + 
importlib.metadata.version('ansible'))\""]
 INFO subprocess: Vagrant not running in installer, restoring original 
environment...
DEBUG subprocess: Selecting on IO
DEBUG subprocess: Waiting for process to exit. Remaining to timeout: 32000
DEBUG subprocess: Exit status: 0
 INFO interface: warn: Vagrant gathered an unknown Ansible version:


and falls back on the compatibility mode '1.8'.

Alternatively, the compatibility mode can be specified in your Vagrantfile:
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/ansible_common.html#compatibility_mode

Vagrant gathered an unknown Ansible version:


and falls back on the compatibility mode '1.8'.

Alternatively, the compatibility mode can be specified in your Vagrantfile:
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/ansible_common.html#compatibility_mode
 cut here 

Such compatibility mode triggers later errors that are not part of this report.

There is an issue with the quoting of the in-line Python script that
is already fixed in the upstream repo, see PR [0]. I'll provide a patch
for your convenience.

It would be great to have this fixed before the release or at least in
a later update.

Thanks,
Dom
