gnupg task installation fails on Ubuntu 20.04.x unless update_cache: true

[abalage]

Hi,

Installing the role on stock Ubuntu 20.04 fails because of outdated package cache.
Explicitly asking for cache update in task "Ensure dependencies are installed." solves the problem.

I have found older issues mentioning this before.
#286
#398

Providing a single line change to fix it.

ps.: Thanks Jeff for your awesome work.

For the sake of completeness here are the before-after logs.

Not stale. Fix is provided, does not break anything but fixes reported issues.

This issue is no longer marked for closure.

I got this too sadly. Following the ansible for kubernetes book.

[abalage]

As a workaround use the following task maybe as pre_tasks in your main playbook where you would normally invoke this role.

- name: Update package cache.
  ansible.builtin.apt:
    update_cache: true
