I've encountered a couple of modules where target hosts that are accessed
an intermediate host don't seem to work in a naive way. I'm wondering if
this is a known issue and whether there are any workarounds. The latest
version concerns the `apt` module. Here's a snippet from my inventory file:
target_host ansible_host=localhost:4321 ansible_user=user host_key_checking=
false
A simple stanza is:
```
- name: Remove CA certificate bundle
tags:
- oneoff
apt:
name: ca-certificates
state: absent
```
When I run this playbook, I get this error:
```
TASK [upgrade : Remove CA certificate bundle]
***********************************************************************************************************************************
*fatal: [target_host]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "SSH
Error: data could not be sent to remote host \"localhost:4321\". Make sure
this host can be reached over ssh", "unreachable": true}*
```
The module `rsync` has similar issues. Any thoughts on how to work around
this, other than just using `shell`?
