Using ansible v2.0.2.0:

$ sudo ansible-galaxy install debops.sshd 
- downloading role 'sshd', owned by debops
- downloading role from https://github.com/debops/ansible-sshd/archive/v0.2.3.tar.gz
- extracting debops.sshd to /etc/ansible/roles/debops.sshd
- debops.sshd was installed successfully

Thanks for reporting. I tried to solve this but it is unclear to me how this new format for role dependencies should look like due to missing documentation. The source code gives some hints but is not very verbose about it. Do you know how to fix this?

So I think I know what's up. Instead of

---
dependencies:

  - role: debops.secret

Ansible expects now to see

---
dependencies:

  - src: 'debops.secret'

That's gonna be a lot of roles to be updated...

ansible 2.1 barfs on using the same forms (src: my.fingrole) in a role's meta/main.yml[-dependencies] as in a requirements.yml file. going to live with the warning and specifying role: my.fingrole

I also stepped over this deprecation warning. When trying to change - role: to - src: in meta/main.yml the import on Ansible Galaxy fails. Will also continue living with the warning for the moment.
