apt_key problem on Ubuntu?

Archives Ansible Project

In my playbook I have the action:
apt_key: url=https://keyserver.ubuntu.com id=0xcbcb082a1bb943db state=present

It times out on: File "/home/vagrant/.ansible/tmp/ansible-1369317219.32-261093913648844/apt_key", line 104, in download_key

When I use this action:
command: apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db

Is is working well, but then it is always state=changed.

Am I doing something wrong in the apt_key parameters (the examples are for debian), or is it not working on Ubuntu (12.04)?

What version of Ansible are you using and can you please paste the full output of running the apt_key module?

(The command module is going to return state=changed every time, since you didn’t supply creates= nor removes=. That’s working fine)

​Are you sure about that http url? I'm also getting a timeout​ browsing to
it. AFAICS they don't support secure http

Also, on the top of my head, I think you need to point the full url to the
key you need:
e.g.:

http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&fingerprint=on&search=0xCBCB082A1BB943DB

The id is only used to check if the key is already present, not to download
it.

Thanks both for your replies.

I am using ansible 1.2 (development branch from 2 days ago).

Thanks Serge, your reply enalble me to solve my problem. The keyserver.ubuntu.com doesn’t support https.

This is working for me now:
apt_key: url=http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&fingerprint=on&search=0xCBCB082A1BB943DB state=present

I tried it with
apt_key: url=http://keyserver.ubuntu.com id=0xCBCB082A1BB943DB state=present

But then the error is:

TASK: [General | Install mariaDB apt key.] ************************************
failed: [drupal7.vm3.local] => {“cmd”: “apt-key add -”, “failed”: true, “item”: “”, “rc”: 2}
stderr: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

msg: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

My problem is solved, thanks!
