@east4ming That seems to be raised on the wrong place. This seems to be a Ubuntu packaging/distribution issue as you installed the apt package, which is not supported by us.

This was already reported to the right place as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ansible-lint/+bug/2060649

I will close it for now now, unless there is a PR that address the issue.
