Does anyone know what they're talking about? This is a pain to deal with in my app, and I've never seen it with any other pip package.
- geerlingguy 5y agoUnfortunately due to some things that happened with the way they renamed packages after the split (from ansible to ansible-core and ansible-base), it required a full 'uninstall and reinstall' operation, otherwise Pip gets things a bit confused and the installation breaks completely. There was a Herculean effort to try to get it to just upgrade cleanly, but in the end it turned out there was no way.
- mtlynch 5y agoAh, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification, Jeff!
