STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Given this directory structure:

├── ansible.cfg
├── inventories
│   └── test
│       └── hosts.ini
├── provision.yml
└── roles
    └── sample
        ├── handlers
        │   └── main.yml
        └── tasks
            └── main.yml

with And roles/sample/tasks/main.yml defined like so:

- name: Update Linux Distribution Software (apt update && apt upgrade && apt autoremove)
  apt:
    upgrade: yes  # upgrade: 'dist'
    update_cache: yes
    autoremove: yes #this isn't working, need to change it
    dpkg_options: 'force-confold,force-confdef'  
    allow_unauthenticated: no

- name: Set Timezone to USA/NewYork
  timezone: 
    name: America/New_York

roles/sample/handlers/main.yml defined like so:

- name: Reboot machine 
  reboot: 
    reboot_timeout: 3600
    test_command: whoami
  notify:
    - Restart sshd

EXPECTED RESULTS

I expect the handler, Reboot machine, defined above to return either elapsed or rebooted

ACTUAL RESULTS

but instead the error message

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Invalid options for reboot: reboot_timeout"}

is returned
