Hi,
I recently started to receive errors when building images using the ansible
directive:
DEBUG STDERR: ERROR: Ansible requires the locale encoding to be UTF-8; Detected None.
There is a check in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/cli/__init__.py in
initialize_locale() to ensure that the locale is an UTF-8 locale. However, the
vmdb2 ansible plugin runs ansible-playbook via vmdb.runcmd() and this sets
LC_ALL to "C", thus the ansible test is failing.
Unfortunately, there is no way for the user to override this. The quick and
easy solution would be to set:
env["LC_ALL"] = "C.UTF-8"
in vmdb/runcmd.py in runcmd().
Please consider fixing this for Bookworm, otherwise using ansible will be broken.
Regards, Daniel
