Package: cloud.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to provision a new VM using Ansible/Molecule, Vagrant and VirtualBox.
molecule/default/molecule.yml
(...)
platforms:
- name: molecule-test
box: debian/buster64
memory: 512
cpus: 1
(...)
I then tried to add additional repos:
molecule/default/prepare.yml:
(...)
- name: add nonfree repos
apt_repository:
#repo: deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free
contrib
repo: deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib
state: present
update-cache: yes
become: true
But I only got this error message:
fatal: [molecule-test]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to auto-install python-apt. Error was:
'E: Repository 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security
buster/updates InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable'
E: Repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease' changed its
'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable''"
}
To investigate, I used "vagrant ssh <id>" and ran "sudo apt-get update" on the
VM. The resulting output is shown below, arrows mark interesting lines:

* What was the outcome of this action?
After this, I was able to add repositories myself.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I'd expect the VM to run a repository configuration that points to the stable
version of Debian Buster in out-of-the-box installations, thus enabling the
user to use the box in automated workflows that don't require interactive user
intervention.
