Package: ansible
Version: 2.7.7+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
on a minimal stable (buster) installation, ansible fails to run (at
least on the machine itself) because of a lack of the python (2)
interpreter.
To reproduce, debootstrap an image (but installing from netinst without
adding things with tasksel also works):
# mkdir buster
# debootstrap buster buster/
# mount -t devtmpfs udev buster/dev/
# chroot buster
# ansible -i localhost, -m setup -c local all
localhost | FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"module_stderr": "/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python: not found\n",
"module_stdout": "",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",
"rc": 127
}
Installing python (2) of course fixes the issue.
I've noticed that it seems to be hardcoded as such in quite a few
modules:
# grep -r '/usr/bin/python$' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible | wc -l
2083
but I've also checked that in sid the original command is working, while
those files still have an hardcoded python2 executable, so I'm not sure
what is going on there.
