Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I've previously always used the oldstable version of ansible to recreate my VMs when a new stable version of Debian was released. I guess I just avoided breaking changes in Python like the removal of the cert_file keyword argument between the Python version in bookworm and the version in trixie. > Or installing ansible via pip in a virtual environment. Since my purpose is just to create new versions of my VMs based on trixie, this will likely be the easiest solution, and one I hadn't thought of. I understand your reasoning for not fixing, so I'm OK with "wontfix". Thanks for your time and a thorough list of my alternatives. -- Ed Blackman
