I was struggling with Ansible trying to install Xroad for a few days here’s the log:

```auto
<localhost> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'rm -f -r /home/vboxuser/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-17 28036128.1841958-3528-129319791180256/> /dev/null 2>&1 && sleep 0'
The full traceback is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

```

My steps were:

```auto
sudo snap install lxd
newgrp lxd
sudo lxd init

sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt install ansible

ansible-playbook -i hosts/lxd_hosts.txt xroad_init.yml

```

First time i did the steps above, i didnt have any problems at all but 2nd time and later, all fails.

Turns out, all it was needed was:

`ansible-galaxy collection install community.general -f`
