Package: ansible-core
Version: 2.14.18-0+deb12u2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I am attempting to use my ansible playbooks on an up-to-date bookworm
system to create a new trixie VM. Several of the playbooks use get_url
to retrieve a URL's content on the remote system.
When I run one of those playbooks, I get
failed: [example.lan] (item={'url': 'https://example.org/some/path/foo.txt',
'dest': '/another/path/foo.txt'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": false, "dest": "/another/path/foo.txt", "elapsed": 0, "item":
{"dest": "/another/path/foo.txt", "url":
"https://example.org/some/path/foo.txt"}, "msg": "An unknown error
occurred: HTTPSConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument
'cert_file'", "url": "https://example.org/some/path/foo.txt"}
Doing some online searching (eg [1]) I belive the problem occurs because
the bookworm host system is passing 'cert_file' in Python executed on
the remote system, but the remote system has Python 3.12+ and
HTTPSConnection doesn't allow a 'cert_file' keyword. (Note that the play
doesn't have a cert_file option specified.)
My search ([1]) indicates the problem was fixed in ansible-core 2.16.0,
but bookworm is based on 2.14.18, and there's no bookworm-backport for
ansible.
Would it be possible to backport some version of the fix to bookworm?
