Has anyone had issues with their playbooks running after upgrading from 2.13 to 2.14 of ansible?  I kept getting run error from my cisco.* playbooks.  My linux playbooks worked fine however.  I backed out the upgrade and now my cisco.* playbooks work again
Is there a specific upgrade process to follow, such as python3 -m pip install ansible==7.6.0 --user?  I ran the typical dnf upgrade -y.  Thank you!

The full traceback is:
  File "/root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/ansible/netcommon/plugins/modules/cli_command.py", line 170, in main

Hii
From what you posted, it is not clear what the working situation
consists of, and what the 'upgrade' version consists of.
Right now I see a mix of "dnf" which implies an OS provided package,
but you also have one (or more) collection(s) installed in root's home
directory.
Your suggestion of adding "pip install --user" to the mix will likely
get you further from home.

I haven't read the official installation docs for a while
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#installing-and-upgrading-ansible)
but those now seem to suggest that the pip installation method is the
supported way of installing it (which I would agree with).
So ideally you'd remove the OS package(s) and just use the pip method
as per above instructions.
