# Unblocking Victoria promotions (overcloud deploy failing in Ensure system is NTP time synced)

## Why we need it

Victoria promotion is blocked by `periodic-tripleo-ci-centos-8-ovb-3ctlr_1comp-featureset035-victoria`
which is failing with https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1958116 (Ensure system is NTP time synced)
There is a patch to fix this:
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-ansible/+/824961 which fails `tripleo-ansible-centos-8-molecule-tripleo_network_config failure`

## What we did:

https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-ansible/+/824961 failed in `tripleo-ansible-centos-8-molecule-tripleo_network_config failure` with:
```
pytestconfig = <_pytest.config.Config object at 0x7f67c2df8828>

    def test_molecule(pytestconfig):
        cmd = ['python', '-m', 'molecule']
        scenario = pytestconfig.getoption("scenario")
        ansible_args = pytestconfig.getoption("ansible_args")
    
        if ansible_args:
            cmd.append('converge')
            if scenario:
                cmd.extend(['--scenario-name', scenario])
            cmd.append('--')
            cmd.extend(ansible_args.split())
        else:
            cmd.append('test')
            if scenario:
                cmd.extend(['--scenario-name', scenario])
            else:
                cmd.append('--all')
    
        try:
          assert subprocess.call(cmd) == 0
E           AssertionError: assert 1 == 0
E            +  where 1 = <function call at 0x7f67c678d378>(['python', '-m', 'molecule', 'test', '--all'])
E            +    where <function call at 0x7f67c678d378> = subprocess.call
```

We found a similar bug for master with a fix `https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-ansible/+/779180` and so cherry picked the change on victoria `https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-ansible/+/825059/3`

This failed `openstack-tox-linters` with `ImportError: cannot import name 'AnsibleLintRule'`
We tried to fix it here `https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-ansible/+/825059/`

Till we fix this can we set this job to non voting and get the patch through?
