In ansible 1.7.x and below, ansible looked for a program on the remote machine to do an md5sum of the file for integrity checking. As of 1.8.0, ansible uses python itself to create a sha1 hash for integrity checking. What this means is that on ansible-1.7.x and older you needed to have /usr/bin/md5sum, /usr/bin/md5, or another of a few known programs in order to use many file related modules. With current ansible you'll only need python installed.
