I am setting up a new Server (Debian 10). I need to install required
packages (and some Perl Modules) with_items using default package manager
(apt). When I run my playbook, I receive the following failure:

ansible-playbook -i buildservers-agd new-buildserver.yaml --limit DEBIAN
I have tried `sudo apt-get install -f`.
-f, --fix-broken Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies
in place.
This didn't work.
I have also tried:
sudo apt-get
update sudo
apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Expected results are to have the packages install successfully.
