I am trying to deploy k8s cluster on aws using kubespray.

Step1: I have downloaded the following dependencies:

apt-get update  
apt-get install software-properties-common  
apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible  
apt-get update  
apt-get install ansible  
apt-get update  
apt-get -y upgrade  
apt-get install python-pip  
pip install jinja2  
pip install netaddr

Step2: cloned the kubespray git repo

git clone https://github.com/xenonstack/kubespray.git

Step3: customized the inventory file, while deploying the cluster using ansible it is throwing the following error

E: Package 'python-minimal' has no installation candidate

How can i fix this?

    last commit of OP's provided fork url: 6 years ago. Supported distributions: CoreOS (disappeared), Debian Jessie (ie: 8, we're at 12)., Ubuntu 16.04 (2016-2021?) . At least CentOS7 is still around. Maybe try https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray instead? – A.B Jul 18 '23 at 11:12

You got the E: Package 'python-minimal' has no installation candidate message because the python-minimal package does not exist in your distribution's default repositories. The last Ubuntu distribution that had the python-minimal package in its repositories is Ubuntu 18.04 which is already End Of Life.

Install python2.7 instead.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python2.7

The python2.7 package has been discontinued in Ubuntu 23.04 and later. If you are using Ubuntu 23.04 either use python3 or else build python2.7 from source.

Results of rmadison --url=debian python-minimal:

python-minimal | 2.7.16-1      | oldoldstable | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
