Error on Debian 11

I'm getting the following error on Debian 11 (x86_64):

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: IndexError: list index out of range fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1641752293.655911-42361-198139431818415/AnsiballZ_mysql_secure_installation.py", line 102, in \n _ansiballz_main()\n File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1641752293.655911-42361-198139431818415/AnsiballZ_mysql_secure_installation.py", line 94, in _ansiballz_main\n invoke_module(zipped_mod, temp_path, ANSIBALLZ_PARAMS)\n File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1641752293.655911-42361-198139431818415/AnsiballZ_mysql_secure_installation.py", line 40, in invoke_module\n runpy.run_module(mod_name='ansible.modules.mysql_secure_installation', init_globals=None, run_name='main', alter_sys=True)\n File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 210, in run_module\n return _run_module_code(code, init_globals, run_name, mod_spec)\n File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 97, in _run_module_code\n _run_code(code, mod_globals, init_globals,\n File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code\n exec(code, run_globals)\n File "/tmp/ansible_mysql_secure_installation_payload_sgcini22/ansible_mysql_secure_installation_payload.zip/ansible/modules/mysql_secure_installation.py", line 478, in \n File "/tmp/ansible_mysql_secure_installation_payload_sgcini22/ansible_mysql_secure_installation_payload.zip/ansible/modules/mysql_secure_installation.py", line 455, in main\n File "/tmp/ansible_mysql_secure_installation_payload_sgcini22/ansible_mysql_secure_installation_payload.zip/ansible/modules/mysql_secure_installation.py", line 321, in mysql_secure_installation\nIndexError: list index out of range\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}

This is being invoked by an Ansible playbook I use. It works fine in CentOS, RHEL, Oracle Linux, etc. Just ran into this when testing on Debian 11 though.

I may take some time to fix it due to some busy work, if it's urgent to you please let me know.

No worries, it's not urgent and thank you for taking a look at it.
