Gnupg2 install breaks Ubuntu LTS
lod opened this issue · comments
The addition of gnupg2 in commit 7a53c53 breaks Ubuntu 18.04, the current Ubuntu LTS
Ubuntu 18.04 does not have this package
Pinning to the 2.5.2 as a workaround seems to work fine, but is obviously not ideal
Also impacts the docker role geerlingguy/ansible-role-docker#195
@lod - I added it to fix some issues with Debian 10, and in my own local tests in both a Docker container with a minimal install as well as in a VirtualBox VM with the Ubuntu server install, I haven't had any issues. Can you provide more information about what task, in particular, is failing, along with any associated error messages?
I am getting the same error while running in AWS Ubuntu instance (Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (HVM))
Install Gitlab Task is failing

@npandeya - It looks like that's an unrelated issue: see the warnings:
GitLab requires UTF-8 encoding to function properly. Please check your locale settings.
...
Environment variable LC_ALL specifies a non-UTF-8 locale. GitLab requires UTF-8 encoding to function properly. Please check your locale settings.
That looks like an environment issue on your server.

I'm using the latest master (cb5981d).
The workaround of running update_cache=yes as noted in geerlingguy/ansible-role-docker#195 works for me fyi.
This issue is no longer marked for closure.
@snobear - It seems if that workaround works, the best option may be to add a task in your playbook that updates the apt caches. I don't like doing that in my roles because if I had 8 roles with each one updating caches as it went, playbooks would be very slow.
@geerlingguy yeah makes sense. Running a cache update before this gitlab playbook is run does the trick. I put this as a pre task in my playbook, e.g.
pre_tasks:
- name: Update apt-get repo and cache
apt: update_cache=yes force_apt_get=yes cache_valid_time=3600
Going to close this for now; please use that option if you run into this issue.
