Hi all,
im trying to use a 'complex' expression to evaluate if a task should run as
root or not.
Here is what i have defined:
```
debian_based_system: ansible_os_family == 'Debian' or ansible_os_family ==
'Linuxmint'
```
My tasks look like this
```
- debug: var=ansible_os_family
- debug: var={{ debian_based_system }}
- debug: var=debian_based_system
- shell: echo $EUID
args:
executable: /bin/bash
become: "{{ debian_based_system }}"
- shell: echo $EUID
args:
executable: /bin/bash
become: true
- shell: echo $EUID
args:
executable: /bin/bash
become: debian_based_system
```
and when i run them, i get
```
TASK [test : debug]
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

```
which means that only `become: true` gave my task sudo access (and not any
of the other two).
If i change the definition to `debian_based_system: '{{ ansible_os_family
== "Debian" or ansible_os_family == "Linuxmint" }}'`, then i get correct
results for the first two shell tasks but i also get a warning about using
{{ }} in when statements.
```

```
What is the correct way to define this so that it works and i dont get the
warning ?
Cheers,
Mike
