on Ubuntu 22.04 VM

Smoke testing on RasPiOS and (some other Ubuntu @jvonau tested?) wasn't quite enough, oh dear.

Hopefully @jvonau (or anybody) can identify a clean fix.

Ref:

• 526

[holta]

Maybe Admin Console should also mandate python3-venv just like scripts/ansible now mandates.

Anyway that wouldn't hurt (for any/all components to declare their own dependencies, as much as is pragmatic anyway).

[holta]

My running assumption (@tim-moody can clarify) is that the above Ubuntu 22.04 test/fail took place with an older install of iiab/iiab...

[tim-moody]

correct me if I am wrong, but python3-venv is a dependency of ansible, not adm cons

Install was on vm after apt update upgrade and first install of newly pulled iiab and iiab-admin-console

[holta]

iiab/iiab now requires the install of python3-venv

iiab/iiab-admin-console apparently too, and probably should make this prereq explicit?

[tim-moody]

iiab/iiab now requires the install of python3-venv

so was it installed?

should adm cons install ansible?

[tim-moody]

anyway it was installed

root@iiab-kolibri:~# apt list |grep python3-venv

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

python3-venv/jammy-updates 3.10.6-1~22.04 amd64

[holta]

On a fresh install on Ubuntu 22.04 this won't flare up right?

If that's correct, I guess it's just a matter of hygiene preferences, i.e. if Admin Console should or should not also mandate python3-venv.

[tim-moody]

OK. I reran the ansible script and now the install succeeded.

[jvonau]

anyway it was installed

root@iiab-kolibri:~# apt list |grep python3-venv

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

python3-venv/jammy-updates 3.10.6-1~22.04 amd64

That suggest the package is not installed, should see [installed] at the end of the output.

[tim-moody]

right you are
