ansible version in kinetic is not compatible with resolvelib dependency

[mrvanes]

Ansible version in 22.10 kinetic is 5.5.0 and depends on python3-resolvelib 0.8.1 which is not a working combination for ansible-galaxy dependency resolver:

$ ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml
...
Process install dependency map
ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: CollectionDependencyProvider.find_matches() got an unexpected keyword argument 'identifier'
the full traceback was:

It should be fixable by downgrading resolvelib to 0.5.4, but I didn't try that. Instead I installed Ansible 6.5.0 in a virtualenv and got ansible-galaxy working again.

Unable to use proper tools to expand this out, but I'm running into the same issue with 22.04.2 LTS.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Ansible provides very clear requirements on its github where it say Ansible 2.12.X needs resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 0.6.0 but you are forcing resolvelib to be 0.8.1 when installing ansible with apt.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.12/requirements.txt

So either fix the resolvelib version and publish the old resolvelib or update to Ansible 2.13 where resolvelib can be resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 0.9.0

I managed to fix this by installing first ansible-core with apt and afterwards, installing with pip the resolvelib 0.5.4

ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.txt

that did not work for me.

[Vincent Gerris (vgerris)]

turned out this was a pip requirements file, running pip install -r requirements.txt did the trick.

[Valerio Bozzolan (bozzy)]

The workaround from Vincent Gerris works also in jammy:

    sudo apt install python3-pip
    pip install resolvelib==0.5.4

Then run again:

    ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix
