When will the merge be done?
As of today, if you don't have ubuntu, you can't upgrade or install!

Hello Michele, if your |python version = 3.9.2 , then no deadsnakes-ppa (newer Python versions for older systems) should be needed.||||What I did not understand yet: The system you are installing to (your Ansible -i hosts), what OS is that ||and is there an OS-provided python already installed?| |I have recently-ish (maybe 6 weeks ago) installed using Ansible *on* a virtual machine ( -i hosts ) that || had been provided ||with a then-current Debian 11 installation and that had Python 3.9.2 on the target even before touching it with the OpenWISP playbook, entirely||||||skipping the deadsnakes-ppa install.||||| |||| |The Ansible version you report shows 3.9.2, but as far as I understand it, that is for|| the *install controller* i.e. the host you start the Ansible playbook on| (is there a name for that in Ansible lingo?)|.| || ||So, long question short: What is your installation *target* ?|| |||Also, I guess you can ssh into the target before running the Ansible playbook, what does  ''python3 --version''  say there?| |||| |Best regards,| |  Martin| || | |

Something in the version control is wrong!

however for the ubuntu repo there is not exist bullseye.
a 'ubuntu or other distribution' check is required
