I did this workaround by setting the following variables to get the right version and it worked but needs to be fixed in the task.

zabbix_agent_version: 5.0 zabbix_agent_package: zabbix-agent=1:5.0.24-1+focal zabbix_sender_package: zabbix-sender=1:5.0.24-1+focal zabbix_get_package: zabbix-get=1:5.0.24-1+focal

Great. Thanks a lot. I will test it next week. Probably, the documentation should be updated as well.

I had a similar issue. My solution was to manually apt remove zabbix-agent and rerun the role.
