Pulp.pulp_installer.pulp_database fails on task "Load OS specific variables"

Support
#1

Problem:
When trying to install pulp using Ansible the role pulp.pulp_installer.pulp_database fails on task Load OS specific variables with the following error:

fatal: [pulp_server]: FAILED! => {"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'first_found'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleLookupError'>, original message: No file was found when using first_found. Use errors='ignore' to allow this task to be skipped if no files are found"}

The error is probably caused by pulp_installer/roles/pulp_database/tasks/main.yml, line 3:

3  include_vars: "{{ lookup('first_found', params) }}"

Any help how to solve this error would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Please let me know if further details are needed.

Expected outcome:
The role should run flawlessly and install PostgreSQL.

Pulpcore version:
3.20.1

Pulp plugins installed and their versions:
This is a clean install on a new system. No plugins are present.

Operating system - distribution and version:
Rocky Linux 8.6

Hi goarsna,

Unfortunately, we do not support Rocky Linux.

You are like the 3rd person to run into a lack of compatibility with it. I will discuss adding support with the Pulp team today.

Hi @goarsna ,

I released pulp_installer 3.20.3 with Rocky Linux 8 and 9 support.

It includes a workaround for old versions of Ansible (2.9 and 2.10) that do not properly recognize ansible_facts.os_family for Rocky. (You seemed to have run into that issue.)
