Error description

  • Ansible Core reported a bug in jobs.fetch_multiple(). When
    a job has an unknown cputime ('?') that string is supposed to be
    replaced by a None value in the dictionary returned by the Job
    module functions, but an error causes it to be passed as is and
    a ValueError is raised.
