Hi All,
I have an ansible control node, which is the version 2.10.17
i need to install fortigate collection by the command:
ansible-galaxy collection install fortinet.fortios
but i receive the error message (regardless what comes after ansible-galaxy, i kepp on getting the same error message)
ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: cannot import name 'CollectionRequirement'
the full traceback was:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-galaxy", line 92, in <module>
    mycli = getattr(__import__("ansible.cli.%s" % sub, fromlist=[myclass]), myclass)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible/cli/galaxy.py", line 24, in <module>
    from ansible.galaxy.collection import (
ImportError: cannot import name 'CollectionRequirement'
is there any idea how to overcome it?

Delete or replace that software, and update to a contemporary release
of ansible-core. There were big structural changes when ansible was
renamed ansible-core, and the enormous bundle of ansible collection
modules was renamed ansible. And yes, it's confusing, but that's what
happened. You now need "ansible-core".

Thanks for your reply.
I did upgrade the ansible by:
sudo pip3 install ansible-core==2.15
and now the ansible-core is updated:
$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.15.0]
  config file = /home/ansible/.ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ansible/library']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/ansible/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.9.10 (main, Sep 23 2022, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.2.1 20220127 (Red Hat 11.2.1-9)] (/usr/bin/python3)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True

after running the command:
ansible-galaxy collection install fortinet.fortios

i get the error message:
ERROR! Unknown error when attempting to call Galaxy at 'https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/': <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>. <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>

Sounds like a local dns resolution issue
