      Description of problem:

      • After updating the Satellite/Capsule OS to 8.7 all playbooks fail to run on RHEL 6 clients

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      • Satellite 6.11+
      • RHEL 8.7

      How reproducible:

      • Whenever a playbook is run on RHEL 6 clients

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Update Satellite or Capsule to RHEL 8.7
      2. Run a playbook or role on a RHEL 6 client
      3.

      Actual results:

      • Playbooks fail to run as RHEL 6 is no longer supported with ansible-core 2.13

      Expected results:

      • Satellite + Ansible should support all operating systems that are still supported by Red Hat

      Additional info:
      This issue is due to ansible-core 2.13 not supporting RHEL 6 clients any longer [1].
      As RHEL 6 ELS is still supported until June 30, 2024 [2] this should be considered as bug.

      Workaround:

      • Downgrade ansible-core to 2.12 on Satellite/Capsules that are required to support RHEL 6 clients
