Description Sandro Bonazzola 2021-04-28 12:30:36 UTC

This was reported 2 years ago on ansible-2.8 here https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/61443 an now happening again with 2.9.20 on CentOS Stream 8 with oVirt 4.4.6.

This version guessing is causing troubles and should be fixed in a proper way and not rely on guesswork. Marking as regression introduced in 2.8.0 and never addressed since then.
