title: How can I add a PPA repository using Ansible?
body: <p>I'm trying to add a new repository to a server so that I can install Java by Ansible. Unfortunately whenever I try to run the playbook it fails because of a GPG error. Can somebody explain what is going wrong here and what I need to do in order to fix this?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Ansible 1.7.2 and currently only connecting to localhost.</p>
  
  <p>I have a very simple Playbook that looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>- hosts: home
    tasks:
     - name: Add repositories
       apt_repository: repo='ppa:webupd8team/java' state=present
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to execute it, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sal@bobnit:~/Workspace$ ansible-playbook --ask-sudo-pass basic.yml 
  sudo password:
