I am trying to install git client package on Fedora 18 as a target from OSX.

I am running the following

ansible-playbook -i hosts install.yml -u preseed -K -U preseed -vvv

where the ssh user and the sudo user are the same… Unfortunately… No sudo command is issue and the installation failed. If I don t specify the sudo user, it tries root but then hangs…

See output below when I run with sudo user specified. what am I doing wrong?
