Upgrading cluster by re-applying provision-cluster.yml only works the 2nd time

[vuldin]

I have the following hosts.ini file that I deploy:

> cat hosts.ini
[redpanda]
node-a ansible_user=root ansible_become=True private_ip=${IP_A} id=0
node-b ansible_user=root ansible_become=True private_ip=${IP_B} id=1
node-c ansible_user=root ansible_become=True private_ip=${IP_C} id=2
> ansible-playbook --private-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa -v ansible/provision-cluster.yml -i hosts.ini -e redpanda_version=24.1.7-1

And when I do a rolling upgrade, I always have to run the following command twice:

ansible-playbook --private-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa -v ansible/provision-cluster.yml -i hosts.ini -e redpanda_version=24.1.8-1

It never completes the upgrade on the first attempt. There are no errors, it just doesn't seem to complete the task the first time (always the second time). After discussions it looks like package_result was removed (thanks @tmgstevens ).

Re-opening this issue, as I am not able to verify the fix works. Attached is most of the output from:

ansible-playbook --private-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa -v ansible/provision-cluster.yml -i hosts.ini -e redpanda_version=24.1.8-1 -vvv

ansible-upgrade.log

The broker seems to have been upgraded according to this output:

Redpanda Cluster

  node-2  v24.1.7 - 53e6eab6abe26155d840c7ae960f71153f1b66af

But it seems the brokers weren't restarted properly:

The lines for each broker do include 1 upgraded, which is what we look for here.
