Description
ansible-pulp now upgrades pip, primarily for the sake of pulp_rpm's new dependencies being built with manylinux2014: https://github.com/pulp/ansible-pulp/pull/236
However, this incompatible with system-wide packages on distros with older setuptools like CentOS 7 due to this bug.
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1694#issuecomment-466010982
It is causing pulp_rpm 3.2.0 (released) to fail to install with ansible_pulp 3.2.0 (released), and is thus holding up pulp_rpm_prerequisites 3.2.0.
