Hi 

I have a number of ubuntu servers that I want to update using ansible via 
AWX. my current test playbook : 

---
 - hosts: all
   tasks:
   - name: Test Connection
     ansible.builtin.ping:

   - name: Update Cache
     become: true
     apt:
       update_cache: true

is not work as expected on the ubuntu servers. 
The servers that have the root user configured are fine. But the Ubuntu 
servers where the root user doesn't have a password set are failing with 
the following error: 

"Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation: Failed to lock directory 
/var/lib/apt/lists/: E:Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - 
open (13: Permission denied)"

In AWX I have configured privilege escalation to use sudo but this doesnt 
help. 

I have tried moving the become: yes statement but this did help. 

Doe the apt module support the sudo ? 

What have I missed ?

Thank you

 Greg
