I'm fairly new to Ansible. I really like it but can't get past this show
stopper. If anyone can offer any hints, I sure would appreciate it. The
package I'm trying to install is my own. Something may be wrong with it
but it installs fine with apt-get. Normal packages install OK.
Running *apt-get* *install *from the shell works but running *apt *does not
work. apt is like a black box. I can't find any way to debug it. I can
find messages in /var/log/auth.log. They all look good. syslog has:
