I have been learning Ansible on Windows 10 through WSL (using Pengwin, a Debian-based Linux) and it's been working fine up until last night. This morning, it's as though it doesn't exist any more:
❯ ansible
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ansible", line 34, in <module>
from ansible import context
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ansible'
Literally nothing has changed since last night. Even my computer has remained on. The only difference is that I had logged out of my terminal program.
I tried running pengwin-setup to re-install Ansible, but the issue persists.
Finally, I tried installing it via the instructions on Ansible's own site. However, things got even worse:
❯ sudo apt install software-properties-common
[sudo] password for sturm:

Now I'm out of options. How can I get Ansible running again?
