{"failed": true} msg: Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

[DEBORAH AKUOKO]

I get the error   ({"failed": true} msg: Failed to lock apt for exclusive operationFATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting)

as specified in the subject each time i run my playbook. 

But i can successfully ssh into the remote host 

this is the content of my playbook

- hosts: 172.30.0.12

  roles:

  - java

  - tomcat

#  sudo: True

  vars:

    tomcat_version: 7

    java_version: 7

    tomcat_jmxremote_enable: true

    tomcat_jmxremote_port: 10003

Kindly help me figure this out

unless you are running as root I would expect this error, you might
want to uncomment #sudo: True
