[Bug]: requires_ansible in meta/runtime.yml is not matching with ansible-core in requirements.txt

[adworjan]

Summary

In the requirements.txt at the root of the repo, Ansible-core is pinned to version 2.15.9

ansible-core==2.15.9

Since ansible-builder uses the requirements.txt from the repository, this overwrites the ansible-core version regardless of what version the user wants. Recommend matching the meta/runtime.yml

ansible-core>=2.14.0 if that is the minimum supported version

Issue Type

Bug Report

Component Name

requirements.txt which impacts ansible-core when using ansible-builder

Python Version

Python 3.11.5

Ansible Version

Ansible Configuration

No response

netscaler.adc Collection Version

Collection    Version
------------- -------
netscaler.adc 2.6.1  

Target NetScaler Version

No response

Equivalent NetScaler CLI Command

No response

Steps to Reproduce

ansible-builder build -t newimage:latest

Use a non 2.15.9 execution environment.

In requirements.yml just have netscalar.adc

The final image will have ansible-core 2.15.9 because of the requirements.txt

Expected Results

I would expect to maintain the current version of ansible-core installed in my execution environment, not an exact version forced by the netscalar.adc collection when building EE

Actual Results
