Hello,

When I use this:

  • name: Install {{ install_name }} required tools
    apt: pkg={{ item }}
    state=installed
    update_cache=yes

I found this error :

I just had a few weird attribute errors that were caused by having multiple installations of Ansible. I had a system install and I was trying to use a Github clone of Ansible.

You can use the following command to see where your system Ansible locations might be (thanks to Matt Martz):
$ python -c “import sys; print sys.path”

Thank yoou for your reponse I found

ahilali@ahilali-desktop:~$ python -c “import sys; print sys.path”
[‘’, ‘/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0.2-py2.7.egg’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload’, ‘/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0’, ‘/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client’]

That looks okay, unless you are also running Ansible from the Github repo.

Can you paste the full play here, including the variables that are being read into the play?

Thanks!

that is not a good key=val multiline, do one of these:

apt:
pkg: “{{ item }}”
state: installed
update_cache: yes

or

apt: |
pkg={{ item }}
state=installed
update_cache=yes
