(python-daemon 3.0.2 has been yanked, so that specific problem is solved, but having a way to pin or constrain dependencies is still a good thing to have :) )
@felixfontein is it possible to stick -c broken-constraints.txt
into your requirements file?
@webknjaz there is no requirements file for ansible-runner and ansible-core, these are installed in a separate step by ansible-builder without any requirements file. See https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/builder/en/stable/definition/#dependencies: there you can only specify a single value package_pip
for ansible_core
and ansible_runner
.
Right now it's possible to specify a specific ansible-core or ansible-runner version, but it's not possible to specify any constraints on their dependencies (or if there is, I didn't find it).
This causes a big problem right now because python-daemon 3.0.2 (a dependency of ansible-runner) breaks setuptools (https://pagure.io/python-daemon/issue/94), which breaks every single EE build that installs a Python dependency that uses setup.py / setup.cfg - and there's no way to avoid it since it's apparently not possible to tell ansible-builder to pin python-daemon to != 3.0.2.
(Maybe you can prepend build steps to manually install another version before ansible-builder calls pip, but I consider that a hack, not a good solution.)
