Package: ansible Version: 2.7.7+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
My ansible playbooks heavily rely on the the operation system of the
managed machine. After upgrading the managed host I noticed the
"ansible_distribution" and releated are no longer included in the
facts, resulting in major breakage.
The controlling host is still Debian 10 ("buster") a.k.a.
| ii ansible 2.7.7+dfsg-1 all Configuration management,
deployment, and task execution system
The managed host ($h) is unstable, python2 has been removed lately
(possibly unrelated).
Old facts (pre-upgrade) were gathered using:
| ansible -m setup -i "$h," $h
New facts were gathered using
| ansible -m setup -i "$h," $h -e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3'
Comparing the output ...
Expected: No relevant changes (just time, memory usage etc.)
Observed:
| "ansible_devices": {
| (...)
| },
| - "ansible_distribution": "Debian",
| - "ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,
| - "ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/os-release",
| - "ansible_distribution_file_variety": "Debian",
| - "ansible_distribution_major_version": "bullseye/sid",
| - "ansible_distribution_release": "NA",
| - "ansible_distribution_version": "bullseye/sid",
| "ansible_dns": {
| "nameservers": [
If you can shed some light on this, I'd be glad.
