The role not working on Ubuntu 18.04

[demon101]

On ubuntu 18.04 mktemp command exist by defaulf.

TASK [martin-v.letsencryptsh : Install required packages]

(item=mktemp) => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "item": "mktemp", "msg": "No package matching 'mktemp' is available"}

You could just change the name from mktemp to coreutils (as it is also mentioned in the defaults/main.yml file: Change this when the ones in the target OS are named differently). Hope this helps, as the error still pops up with Ubuntu 20.04, too.

I simply rewrote the tasks/packages.yml file like this:

• name: Install required packages
  apt:
  pkg:
  • bash
  • curl
  • git
  • grep
  • coreutils
  • openssl
  • sed

(plus deletion of the section under defaults/main.yml)
