  tasks:

  - name: Add mongo ppa key

    sudo: yes

    apt_key: >

      keyserver=hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80

      id=7F0CEB10

      state=present

  - name: Add mongo sources list

    sudo: yes

    lineinfile: >

      line="deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse"

      dest=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

      state=present

      create=yes

  - name: Install mongo

    sudo: yes

    apt: >

      name=mongodb-org

      state=latest

It looks like the issue is with the list apt uses to retrieve sources....

Malformed entry 2 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list (Component)\nE: The list of sources could not be read.

#ref

You may have to template in the file if it's not present on the target.

Hope that helps
