Description

@kuba-orlik

I've added the prometheus.prometheus.prometheus role to my playbook. I've been using it multiple times, but suddenly it started throwing an error:

TASK [prometheus.prometheus._common : Install dependencies] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
[ERROR]: Task failed: Module failed: No package(s) matching '['python3-apt'' available
Origin: /home/kuba/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/prometheus/prometheus/roles/_common/tasks/preflight.yml:55:3

53     - "{{ ansible_parent_role_names | first | regex_replace(ansible_collection_name ~ '.', '') }}_install"
54
55 - name: Install dependencies
     ^ column 3

fatal: [czynna2]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3.13"}, "changed": false, "msg": "No package(s) matching '['python3-apt'' available"}

I'm using ansible [core 2.19.3]

My target is Debian 13 and it has python3-apt installed

I also see some inconsistencies — sometimes when I run it the _common_dependencies variable contains one, sometimes two dependencies:

TASK [prometheus.prometheus._common : Print a variable] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [czynna2] => {
    "_common_dependencies": "['python3-apt', 'libcap2-bin'] "
}


TASK [prometheus.prometheus._common : Print a variable] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [czynna2] => {
    "_common_dependencies": "python3-apt "
}

At one time it's a string, in another — a list
