Can anybody explain what this error means and why i can’t run anything in ansible:

mb-dmarti:tasks dmarti$ ansible -i sudo\_hosts sudo\_site.yml --list-hosts

How did you install ansible and what version are you using?

I came across something similar in version 1.5 and found the following in /usr/local/bin/ansible:

```auto
if options.su_user or options.ask_su_pass:
options.su = True

```

As the default for su\_user is roolt, the above is always valid and options.su gets always set to True. Even if I do not want to use su. Maybe that’s the explanation for the problem described above?
