"Ansible lint is missing in the environment" despite being installed in the OS

[C0rn3j]

Summary

As I wrote up this issue I ended up thinking it's an upstream one in ansible-lint for which I could not find a report there either. Putting it here for visibility at least, will close if it I find enough time to verify and report upstream.

It fails the same way even executing it in my home (project folder executes fine):

Yeah, that was an upstream issue, workaround in the upstream report at ansible/ansible-lint#4306
