I have a role which is just a meta playbook for installing many packages.
I only want these to run once during an ansible run  since interacting with 
the package manager is slow.
I thought I'd register a variable and check it, however I'm getting an 
error.

TASK: [feature/zypper | remove non-seas repos] 
******************************** 
fatal: [tr808.seas.upenn.edu] => error while evaluating conditional: ( 
common_has_executed == 'false')

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

PLAY RECAP 
******************************************************************** 
           to retry, use: --limit @/root/site.retry

tr808.seas.upenn.edu       : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0 
  


Here the relevant files:

common/tasks/main.yml
---
- name: log common status
  set_fact:  common_has_executed = 'true'

common/meta/main.yml
---
allow_duplicates: no
dependencies:

  - { role: feature/rc.firewall, when: ( common_has_executed == 'false') }
  - { role: feature/perl, when: ( common_has_executed == 'false') }
  - { role: feature/python, when: ( common_has_executed == 'false') }
  - { role: feature/ruby, when: ( common_has_executed is == 'false') }
