Brian, thank you for that workaround.
Your solution however forces `pkg` as a separate argument on a new line.
How would I supply `install_recommends` to that (specific) task? This for
example doesn't work:
...
- apt:
<<: *apt_defaults
pkg: "{{item}}"
install_recommends: yes
It would be nice if it was possible to simply set defaults for tasks.
Something like:
defaults:
apt:
cache_valid_time: 3600
And then allowing these defaults to be overridden by the actual task.
Even better if you could specify these defaults in the group_vars.
