Hi Greg, I'm experiencing the same thing on 2 servers, rest are fine. I can ssh to them and I cannot see anything obviously wrong:
TASK [setup] ******************************************************************* fatal: [0ca87760df7de0fe2d36]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "this module requires key=value arguments (['<<INCLUDE_ANSIBLE_MODULE_ARGS>>'])"} fatal: [33ac8c46007794dee1a6]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "this module requires key=value arguments (['<<INCLUDE_ANSIBLE_MODULE_ARGS>>'])"} to retry, use: --limit @timeboxes.retry I resolved the problem by moving this file out of the way: sudo mv /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/easy-install.pth /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/easy-install.pth.backup Very strange.
