'Morning,

I think the above is the issue. Our Ansible playlist has tasks that look at the two
"Major" lines above. Expecting an integer in the reply. "testing" errors out when
the string is converted to an integer.

See if this returns a major_release that isn't "testing":

   ansible --inventory=hosts.yml --module-name=setup --args="filter=ansible_lsb" localhost

If that also returns "testing" rather than a integer string, try the next.
Rather than me guessing, can you pastebin the output of this:

   ansible --inventory=hosts.yml --module-name=setup localhost | egrep -v "address|ansible_ssh" > /tmp/my.setup.out

The egrep removes SSH public keys and IP addresses, but you can edit it before pasting
to see if there's anything you don't want to share. I don't see any passwords in mine.
The root user is there 'cause it's used for BECOME (sudo).

Thanks!
