I'm trying to create a Consul cluster using Ansible and i'm using this example https://github.com/brianshumate/ansible-consul .i'm using the vagrant file to up 3 Ubuntu machines
the problem is that the task Install unzip package seem to always fail,and it gives this error message:
fatal: [consul1.consul -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Could not detect which package manager to use. Try gathering facts or setting the \"use\" option."}
Ansible seem unable to recognize the package manager,even though ansible localhost -m setup | grep mgr shows that the variable ansible_pkg_mgr has the value apt
i'm not sure what could be the source of the problem.i tried upping 3 debian machines and i still have the same problem.
UPDATE: here's the task file for consul

ansible localhostis not the same as running ansible against the vagrant inventory file, as there are many more things that can go wrong when interacting with a system remotely - mdaniel
