What happened?

I am running upgrade-cluster.yml to upgrade from 1.29.2 to 1.29.5 and I got the following exception:

What did you expect to happen?

The upgrade-cluster.yml to run through successfully

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

I found a fix.
Running ansible-galaxy collection install kubernetes.core --upgrade inside my venv solved the issue. Is this something I can contribute back to the project or is this a problem with my local environment?
