I have simple playbook where trying to install the Debian packages 
downloaded locally in my server. This playbook runs on localhost and 
install the Debian packages in the same system. But this playbook gives an 
error *"Dependency is not satisfiable* for some of the packages even tough 
the dependency package is available in the local repository.

I can download all the dependencies required for the specific package in my 
local repository using *apt-get install --download-only package_name*

But in my playbook, i should have a mechanism to install the dependencies 
first than install the actual package. This task should be dynamic, 
playbook should resolve the dependencies by itself for any package install.

*When the package has dependency over another package, How the playbook 
resolve dynamically.*

Some of the options explored:

Using ordered indexed_items, using gdebi.. Looking for efficient Logic.

*install_dependencies.yml*
