Hi, We made it work. The workaround is to create a symlink between /usr/bin/python3 to /usr/bin/python2 and it worked. We created an empty /usr/bin/python2. Now we will try same on the other two hosts that we need to install.

It is looking for python 2 instead, Kindly find attached logs. Some time ago, we merged this patch, which was designed to solve your case: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-engine/+/114663 Specifically: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-engine/+/114663/6/packaging/ansible-runner-... However, this didn't work, because, as you can see in your attached logs, 'ansible_distribution_file_variety' is 'OracleLinux', and not 'RedHat'. Not sure whether this is due to ansible or to Oracle Linux. I think it would have made more sense that it was 'RedHat', as this seems to have worked well at least for AlmaLinux (and IIRC we also got success reports about Rocky Linux).

Thanks for the update.

I now pushed this patch:

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-engine/+/118229 <https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-engine/+/118229>

Can you please verify it on Oracle Linux? I'd like to get volunteers to verify also on AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, to make sure we do not break these.

setup module on Rocky Linux 8 host returns ... "ansible_distribution": "Rocky", "ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true, "ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/redhat-release", "ansible_distribution_file_variety": "RedHat", "ansible_distribution_major_version": "8", "ansible_distribution_release": "Green Obsidian", "ansible_distribution_version": "8.5", ... "ansible_os_family": "RedHat", ... so patch looks good to me Cheers, Jiri

Thanks and best regards, -- Didi
