Description
The Jinja templating system shipped with Rudder (in the NCF package) throws a deprecation warning about distutils when using python 3.10 (Ubuntu 22.04).
Steps to reproduce :
- install rudder agent on ubuntu 22.04
- use a custom technique with jinja templating
- Task errors out because python throws a warning
This result in non-working Jinja templating, which is quite unfortunate as I use it to deploy firewall rules.
Workaround :
This can be fixed temporarily by installing the "packaging" pip package and changing
"from distutils.version import StrictVersion"
to this :
"from packaging.version import Version as StrictVersion"
in the jinja2-templating.py files (which one to modify, I do not know, I've changed them all on the root server, and it seems to distribute them to the nodes)
Cheers
