Debian 11 can't use default template with ansible-cmdb 1.31

[itservices-trust]

Hi,
I have a role in Ansible that automates html page creation with ansible-cmdb.
I have ansible-cmdb version 1.31.

With Debian 11 upgrade does not work anymore, if I execute:
/usr/bin/ansible-cmdb -i /srv/ansible_repos/inventory/all /srv/ansible_out/hosts > /srv/ansible_out/html/index.html

I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "_usr_lib_ansible_cmdb_ansiblecmdb_data_tpl_html_fancy_tpl", line 18, in _mako_get_namespace
KeyError: ('_usr_lib_ansible_cmdb_ansiblecmdb_data_tpl_html_fancy_tpl', 'defs')

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self._check(uri, self._collection[uri])
KeyError: '/html_fancy_defs.html'

Solved installing ansible-cmdb with pip instead of .deb package!

thanks @itservices-trust a life-saver! after fighting a few days with the .deb package not working, i now have a ansible-cmdb that works!
