I have the same issue.

[sirhopcount]

Can we reopen this please? This is still an issue.

[elcomtik]

Yes, we can reopen. However it will be auto closed if no one step in as contributor for this feature.

@elcomtik I'm happy to make a PR with the above fix but I'm not sure if it would break older Debian versions.

I could do an conditonal like so:

when: ansible_distribution == 'Debian' and ansible_distribution_version == '11'

[elcomtik]

Package list should be defined in variables and included at beginning for each supported distribution. You may look at implementation of proposed functionality at mrlesmithjr/ansible-matiadb-galera-cluster.

I have a pull request ready but the workflow seem to fail for an unrelated reason:

So I think we might need to fix that first (I assume via a different issue/pull request).

[sirhopcount]

Python is not really my area of expertise but it seems to be an issue with ruamel.yaml and ruamel.yaml.clib. From what I can tell adding python3-dev to the docker containers would solve the issue but there may be an other way to solve this by using a different version of as talked about here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/68627053

Can someone with some more expertise confirm that. If simply adding python3-dev is enough I'll make a pull request for that change on mrlesmithjr/dockerfiles.

@sirhopcount I'll update python requirements as I have experienced a similar issue due to outdated python packages. Please rebase your code ad test if issue persist

[elcomtik]

The tests were fixed today. Please do rebase.
