Ansible installation: error using --ask-become-pass

[calbasi]

Hi, when using:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts lemmy.yml --ask-become-pass

I get an error (the typical error on Debian when a user without privileges try to do an apt update:

But the error is gone when using:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts lemmy.yml --become -K

You mean we just need to change the README, if the second command works?

[calbasi]

Yes. I'm not an advanced Ansible user, and I don't know what's the difference between both commands and why one runs and the other sucks.

[Nutomic]

Did you change anything in ansible.cfg? It sets become = True, so there should be no need to set it on command line.

[calbasi]

I didn't change anything in change.cfg. I just did a "git pull" and fired ansible command.

[Nutomic]

Weird. Maybe setting the command line parameter causes the config to be ignored or something like that.

[calbasi]

Hi @Nutomic why have you dischard "-K" from my suggested command?

[dessalines]

K is the same as ask become pass
