[ipspace]

Fixes #2683

Adding several reviewers, just in case someone has time to look at this today.

It's impossible to install netlab from scratch on Ubuntu 24.04 since Ansible team pushed out 12.0 (22.04 works because Ansible 12.0 does not run with its version of Python), so I will cherry-pick this into master and push out a new release in the afternoon.

Looks OK to me. I can't actually test it since I don't use Ubuntu or any other OS where this change is relevant.

Use pip3 (or an equivalent) to upgrade Ansible to the latest version ;)

Need to spawn a VM for that. Remember, I use Linux as my operating system of choice, on all my machines, not OSx or Windows, so I do not really look forward to make untracked changes on my root file system and creates potential issues where there are none.

That's exactly what I do when I have to troubleshoot **** like this. I have at least three different Vagrantfiles ready to spin up and install software on various Ubuntu releases.
