install fails on ubuntu 14.04 "Could not replace file"

[meconlin]

I am attempting to install java8 on some AWS instances running ubuntu14.04.

Ansible 2.0.1

The install fails when trying to alter the sources.list
Other recipes run fine on this host.

My playbook main looks like this:

- hosts: master
  sudo: yes
  roles:
    - ansible-java8-oracle

TASK [ansible-java8-oracle : Add Oracle Java Repository] ***********************
fatal: [ip-192-168-16-111.vpc.my.domain]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "module_stderr": "", "module_stdout": "{\"msg\": \"Could not replace file: /etc/apt/.sources.list-x0ooTA to /etc/apt/sources.list: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted\", \"failed\": true, \"invocation\": {\"module_args\": {\"install_python_apt\": true, \"repo\": \"ppa:webupd8team/java\", \"state\": \"present\", \"update_cache\": true, \"mode\": 420, \"validate_certs\": true}}}\r\nException OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', '/etc/apt/.ansible_tmp5wIypOsources.list') in <bound method _TemporaryFileWrapper.__del__ of <closed file '<fdopen>', mode 'w+b' at 0x7f963b8e4d20>> ignored\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "parsed": false}

patch #7 should correct this
