Upgrading Ansible from version 2.9 and lower to version 2.10 or later
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting version 2.10, Ansible is made of two packages, and upgrading directly from previous minor version (`2.9.*
` and below) using ``pip`` is blocked to prevent leaving Ansible broken.
Trying to upgrade will display the following message, and no change will be performed:
.. code-block:: console
Cannot install ansible-base with a pre-existing ansible==2.x installation.
Installing ansible-base with ansible-2.9 or older currently installed with

pip uninstall ansible
pip install ansible-base

.. code-block:: console
$ pip uninstall ansible
$ pip install ansible
