Hello again!  
I tried tom make a playbook to install a fusioninventroy agent and dependecies.  
Copy the config from a git and reboot the service in the end, but it fails with this error:

```auto
    "msg": "'/usr/bin/apt-get -y -o \\"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef\\" -o \\"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold\\" install 'dmidecode=3.3-3ubuntu0.1' 'dmidecode=3.3-3ubuntu0.1' 'hwdata=0.357-1' 'hdparm=9.60+ds-1build3' 'libuniversal-require-perl=0.19-1' 'libwww-perl=6.61-1' 'libparse-edid-perl=1.0.7-1.1' 'libproc-daemon-perl=0.23-1' 'libfile-which-perl=1.23-1' 'libhttp-daemon-perl=6.13-1ubuntu0.1' 'libxml-treepp-perl=0.43-1' 'libyaml-perl=1.30-1' 'libnet-cups-perl=0.64-1build4' 'libnet-ip-perl=1.26-2' 'libdigest-sha-perl=6.02-1build4' 'libsocket-getaddrinfo-perl=0.22-3' 'libtext-template-perl=1.60-1' 'libxml-xpath-perl=1.44-1' 'libyaml-tiny-perl=1.73-1' 'fusioninventory-agent=1:2.6-2'' failed: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend.

```

Playbook:

```auto

- name: list of fusininventory agent + dependencies
  hosts: all
  become: true
  vars:
      packages:
        - dmidecode
        - dmidecode
        - hwdata
        - ucf
        - hdparm
        - perl

        - git
      state: latest
  tasks:
    - name: Install applications now
      ansible.builtin.apt:
       name: "{{ packages }}"
       state: present
       update_cache: yes

- name: Set values for config
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
    fusioninventory__agent_conf_src: "gsg-git/awx_pub/linux_playbooks/fusion_inventory/agent.cfg"
    configpath: '/etc/fusioninventory/agent.cfg'
  
  tasks:
    - name: addconfig
      copy:
        src: "{{ fusioninventory__agent_conf_src }}"
        dest: "{{ configpath }}"
        owner: root
        group: root
        mode: '0644'
    - name: fusioninv service reboot
      service:
        name: fusioninventory-agent
        state: restarted

```

The installation ogf the Agent seems to be stuck so is there:

```auto
root@nagivis:~# ps aux | grep -i apt
root 141145 0.0 3.7 79012 73060 pts/0 S+ 11:12 0:00 apt install fusioninventory-agent
root 142222 0.0 0.1 4024 2132 pts/1 S+ 13:10 0:00 grep --color=auto -i apt

```

maybe a failsafe mode?

Thank you again for your input!

Or is there a max suggested amount of software you should install in one go?
