Hello all,

I am using Packer v1.9.2 with Ansible as provisioner to bake AMI (Alma Linux 9) in AWS.

One of the step I am installing openssl-devel (latest) 3.2.2-6.el9\_5 and immediately after this Packer terminates the instance being used for baking AMI

```auto
amazon-ebs.ami: TASK [Install gcc, OpenSSL Devel] *********************************************
amazon-ebs.ami: ok: [Remote-Host] => (item=gcc) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "gcc", "msg": "Nothing to do", "rc": 0, "results": []}
amazon-ebs.ami: changed: [Remote-Host] => (item=openssl-devel) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": true, "item": "openssl-devel", "msg": "", "rc": 0, "results": ["Installed: openssl-1:3.2.2-6.el9_5.x86_64", "Installed: openssl-devel-1:3.2.2-6.el9_5.x86_64", "Installed: openssl-libs-1:3.2.2-6.el9_5.x86_64", "Removed: openssl-1:3.0.7-25.el9_3.x86_64", "Removed: openssl-libs-1:3.0.7-25.el9_3.x86_64"]}
amazon-ebs.ami:
amazon-ebs.ami: TASK [Next task] *********
amazon-ebs.ami: fatal: [Remote-Host]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "No existing session", "unreachable": true}

```

However, using openssl-devel v3.0.7-28.el9\_4 works fine

Could you please help understanding the difference in the way Packer behaves with latest version of openssl package?

thanks,  
KP
