Error about not finding python3-libdnf5 on Fedora 42

[geerlingguy]

I was testing this out on a Fedora 42 cluster with four nodes, and found that it was giving the following error while trying to run dnf-related tasks:

TASK [Update dnf cache.] ***********************************************************************************************
fatal: [node-4.local]: FAILED! => 
    changed: false
    failures: []
    msg: Could not import the libdnf5 python module using /usr/bin/python3 (3.13.5 (main,
        Jun 12 2025, 00:00:00) [GCC 15.1.1 20250521 (Red Hat 15.1.1-2)]). Please install
        python3-libdnf5 package or ensure you have specified the correct ansible_python_interpreter.
        (attempted ['/usr/libexec/platform-python', '/usr/bin/python3', '/usr/bin/python'])

The easy fix is to log into each node separately and run:

sudo dnf install -y python3-libdnf5

But it would be nice to get that figure out for automation...
