  • 1.  Installation of ansible-7.2.0 and ansible-core-2.14.2 does only work without dependency check

    Posted Thu September 28, 2023 10:30 AM

    Hey team,

    it seems that the installation of ansible-7.2.0 and ansible-core-2.14.2 does only work without dependency check.

    Is this a known issue?

    ### Broken installation with dependency check
    root@aix00001 /ansible# yum localinstall ansible-core-2.14.2-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm ansible-7.2.0-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm
    Setting up Local Package Process
    Examining ansible-core-2.14.2-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm: ansible-core-2.14.2-1.noarch
    Marking ansible-core-2.14.2-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm to be installed
    Examining ansible-7.2.0-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm: ansible-7.2.0-1.noarch
    Marking ansible-7.2.0-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm to be installed
    Resolving Dependencies
    --> Running transaction check
    ---> Package ansible.noarch 0:7.2.0-1 will be installed
    ---> Package ansible-core.noarch 0:2.14.2-1 will be installed
    --> Processing Dependency: (ansible >= 7.2.0 if ansible <= 2.9.25) for package: ansible-core-2.14.2-1.noarch
    --> Finished Dependency Resolution
    Error: Package: ansible-core-2.14.2-1.noarch (/ansible-core-2.14.2-1.aix7.1.noarch)
               Requires: (ansible >= 7.2.0 if ansible <= 2.9.25)
     You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
     You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

    ### Working installation with --nodeps
    root@aix00001 /ansible# rpm -Uhv --nodeps ansible-core-2.14.2-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm ansible-7.2.0-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm

       2:ansible-core-2.14.2-1            ################################# [100%]

     Ansible (2.14.0 onwards) requires the locale encoding to be UTF-8.
