Result of https://opendev.org/openstack/tripleo-quickstart/commit/1bab5780645d597b7b59984c4259f3f38d5db3fd it seems. We should probably just use the tag 1.0.0.

Thanks Rabi for comment.

Currently we are not seeing this issue in CI. Marking this bug as Invalid.

For future record. This is caused by Ansible attempting to convert LooseVersion into semantic version using 'SemanticVersion.from_loose_version' method[0], which is used in ansible galaxy code[1][2].

This approach works if, and only if, prefix of the version string, delimited by either '+' or '-', consists only of elements that can be cast into 'int'.

Otherwise it fails with the error we have seen. Unfortunately, LooseVersion class technically does allow other characters to be used in the string. So the error won't manifest until Ansible attempts the conversion.
