Quickstart inventory fails saying packages are not installed

[Jason E. Rist]

Unable to install using quickstart. Basic install started via:
bash quickstart.sh --clean --teardown all --no-clone -w /home/jrist/.quickstart-galena/ --release master-tripleo-ci 172.16.213.154

Fatal error on create inventory task (tripleo-inventory):
fatal: [127.0.0.1 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "checksum": "9c8af0a174d677c1271645fa30dbdbf2dba68e92"
}

MSG:

Aborting, target uses selinux but python bindings (libselinux-python) aren't installed!

Isn't quickstart supposed to take care of this? Installing packages?

I installed the package on the host, and the problem is still showing up:

Can you please provide more information about the OS and selinux configuraiton you have? I tried a similar command and I didn't get any errors (CentOS7).

[Jason E. Rist (jason-rist)]

Sure.

Enforcing

[Sorin Sbarnea (ssbarnea)]

Please provide more information about how to reproduce because I tested in two systems (os, user, maybe even command to reproduce)

I was no able to identify any where "Fatal error on create inventory task (tripleo-inventory)" comes from as the excerpt is too breaf.

[Sorin Sbarnea (ssbarnea)]

AFAIK, we do support only permissive for selinux so please test without it (reboot needed i think) and let me know. At least we could rule out this aspect.

On my test system "tripleo-inventory" role succeeded, centos-7.6 but probably less important.

[Jason E. Rist (jason-rist)]

Trying to install the deps locally (Fedora 29) instead of on the target host.
bash quickstart.sh --install-deps (again, this had already been done, but doing it again)

[Jason E. Rist (jason-rist)]

Nope, still failing.

Might be an ansible bug

[OpenStack Infra (hudson-openstack)]

Fix proposed to branch: master
Review: https://review.openstack.org/631825

[Jason E. Rist (jason-rist)]

No longer an issue. Thanks to the above patch.

[Sorin Sbarnea (ssbarnea)]

This bug is related to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/45852 which seems to be the main reason why we encountered it.

Still, we had to workaround it because Ansible bug is not yet fixed and even when it will be fixed it would likely not be ported back to our version.

    install both python-libselinux versions on py3 env

    Ansible is not detecting that python-libselinux
    is installed when only the python3-libselinux
    package is installed. Neat.

This issue was fixed in the openstack/tripleo-quickstart 2.1.1 release.
