Also I'm getting:
TASK [Update apt cache]
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [hackbox-ubuntu-2004]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check
'ansible_facts['distribution'] == 'Ubuntu'' failed. The error was: error while
evaluating conditional (ansible_facts['distribution'] == 'Ubuntu'): 'dict
object' has no attribute 'distribution'\n\nThe error appears to have been in
'/home/alex/lsrc/qemu.git/scripts/ci/setup/build-environment.yml': line 5,
column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax
problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n tasks:\n - name: Update
apt cache\n ^ here\n"}
which is odd given that machine is definitely an Ubuntu one.
