I am trying to install an Ansible Galaxy collection, but I need to force an older revision. According to the documentation, I tried to perform installation the following ways:
$ ansible-galaxy collection install 'weareinteractive.ufw:>=1.10.0,<2.0.0'
Process install dependency map
ERROR! Failed to find collection weareinteractive.ufw:>=1.10.0,<2.0.0
$ ansible-galaxy collection install 'weareinteractive.ufw:<2.0.0'
Process install dependency map
ERROR! Failed to find collection weareinteractive.ufw:<2.0.0
I globally get the same kind of error when trying to do the same from this requirements.yml:
---
- name: weareinteractive.ufw
version: '>=1.8.0,<2.0.0'
Running the command
$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
- downloading role 'ufw', owned by weareinteractive

What am I missing?
Edit: I'm using ansible / ansible-galaxy 2.9.16 but I expect a solution that will still works with ansible 2.10
As stated in the front page of the repository of the role you are trying to install:
Ansible weareinteractive.ufw role
Source: https://github.com/weareinteractive/ansible-ufw#ansible-weareinteractiveufw-role
It is a role and not a collection.
Although the two syntaxes might lookalike, they actually don't totally have the same syntax.
For a role, first, you don't install them via
ansible-galaxy collection install some-collection
Obviously, but via:
ansible-galaxy install some-role
Note: this is confirmed by both their GitHub page and their Ansible Galaxy page, that advise you to install the role via
ansible-galaxy install weareinteractive.ufw
Sources: https://galaxy.ansible.com/weareinteractive/ufw and https://github.com/weareinteractive/ansible-ufw
Then, the version pinning differs too. On a role you have to specify a version, not a version range:
When the Galaxy server imports a role, it imports any git tags matching the Semantic Version format as versions. In turn, you can download a specific version of a role by specifying one of the imported tags.
So you'll have to base yourself on the git tags of their repo, e.g.
ansible-galaxy install weareinteractive.ufw,v1.10.0
And the requirement.yml also differs a bit, where you also have to give a specific verison.
- name: weareinteractive.ufw
version: v1.10.0
