I am running the playbook without specifying an user:
*ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass -vvv test-playbook*
Running the command with -u flag does not change the error:
*ansible-playbook -u napicella --ask-become-pass -vvv test-playbook*
where *napicella *is an user on both the local machine and the remote one
