I've updated my RPM building tools to match for RHEL 8 and 9. to
include anisble-core 1.14.2 andansible-corre 7.2.0, at:
https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblblerepo
EPEL has been publishing an out-of-date and mismatched "ansible-6.3.0"
for RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, I'm not pleased with various parts of its
organization, I'll send the author a note with suggestions.
