I have compiled a configuration for NTP for my Linux Servers (RedHat, SLES, Debian, Ubuntu). When I run my playbook I get an error only for Debian. See below:

main.yaml

If the apt step went OK, then 'ntp' on Debian will cause /etc/ntp.conf  
to be there.  
So either the install step failed, or something else deleted /etc/ntp.conf.  
But seeing that there are also missing binaries, this indicates the  
apt step didn't succeed for some reason.
