Unable to locate package ansible-runner

Problem:

Hello, it is my first attempt with foreman and maybe I’m missing things but I have a hard time to make an initial install with ansible enabled. I had success on a first install without options but wanted to try new clean one with some plugins and compute providers enabled from the beginning so I started clean. Tried to look for this error but I didn’t managed to find something. Any help appreciated.

Installation fails when trying to install ansible plugin with foreman-installer because package ansible-runner doesn’t exist. I’m using the following command for initial install (this is a clean new install).

foreman-installer --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-dns-powerdns --enable-foreman-compute-ec2 --enable-foreman-compute-gce --enable-foreman-compute-openstack --enable-foreman-plugin-ansible --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible --enable-foreman-plugin-remote-execution --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh -v

I found out that the repository:

Err:16 https://releases.ansible.com/ansible-runner/deb bionic Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 2606:4700:20::681a:fa 443]

Is missing a bionic version. I think this repo was added automatically by the installer. Should I change it to “xenial” which exist or it will be overwritten again with the next run of installer?

Expected outcome:

Installation to succeed.

I ended up using CentOS 7 as my base OS for the installation and with the same installer parameters it was completed successfully. Seems that installation on Ubuntu 18.04 is broken at least for the ansible proxy plugin.

yes, turns out ansible-runner is not pacakged for bionic, I’ve asked ansible-runner devs if they could package it, but I can’t guarantee

@Marek_Hulan would this package work? https://ansible-runner.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#debian
The installer fails with the above error when i want to add the ansible stuff to foreman.

After looking at my repo’s i can see it already got installed by the installer. But maybe too late (as it is done by puppet according to the header? As i still got the error
