Is anyone interested in lucid compatibility for the apt module? I
muddled my way into a successful run today
(https://github.com/hfinucane/ansible-modules-core/tree/lucid-apt),
but I'm not sure if anyone's interested upstream.
The root of the problem seems to be a change in the api of the
python-apt library.
it might be worth to build detection into the apt module, other
modules with changing api in their dependencies already do this.
Lucid being 10.04 and no longer recieving security updates, I don’t think we’d want to encourage this buy carrying around this code in Ansible.
People REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY need to upgrade.
This is a follow-up to the End of Life warning sent last month to
confirm that as of today (May 9, 2013), Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop is no
longer supported. This announcement is for the desktop product only,
*Ubuntu 10.04 Server is still supported for another two years.*
I'm sure lot's of people use ansible to manage their *DESKTOP*, but given
10.04 is still supported on *SERVER*, we should support it in Ansible

Maybe although that "another two years" comment was as of May 2013, i.e.
April 2015. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) Procrastinate for six
months, and this will solve itself. :^p

Luckily we don't have to procrastinate for Redhat stuff/ grow a beard 
“Ubuntu 10.04 Server is still supported for another two years.”
Hmm, Interesting. Still haven’t encountered many people running it.
That would imply we are interested in support though.
Thanks for clarification and yes please submit a pull request if you’d like us to consider it.
