EL10: tracer error "Failed loading plugin "tracer_upload": No module named 'imp'"

Support

Out of curiosity I have installed a Alma 10 server and the host tools for foreman client 3.14:

katello-host-tools-4.4.0-2.el10.noarch
katello-host-tools-tracer-4.4.0-2.el10.noarch

However, there seems to be an issue with a missing python imp module:

# dnf check-update
Failed loading plugin "tracer_upload": No module named 'imp'
...

On el9 with python3.9 the import shows a deprecation warning:

>>> import imp
<stdin>:1: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses
```

thus I would say, they have removed it on el10 running python3.12...

That is odd we should have removed all references of imp here Add CentOS 10, Debian 11 and openSUSE 15 tests by evgeni · Pull Request #162 · Katello/katello-host-tools

I did a git grep on the repo and don’t see any more references to imp it looks like it was added in 4.5.0 I can get a new release out for that package. @pcreech are we doing any more Foreman 3.14.z releases?

It looks like Katello Host Tools 4.5.0 is packaged in the 3.15.0 client repo, perhaps worth trying it out: Index of /client/3.15/el10/x86_64
