Update of ansible seems incorrect

[Sebastian S.]

Hello,

I've a Ubuntu 14.04 box with Ansible and Ansible-Tower running. I do regularly upgrades of the packages and have the official mirror for Ansible in my sources.list. So it gets updates. So far, so good. But i think there's something wrong.

1.) When I do a ansible --version on the command line it says it version 2.0.0.2:

ansible@DE9899S76 ~ % ansible --version

ansible 2.0.0.2

  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

2.) apt-cache --showpkg says it's 2.2.0.0:

ansible@DE9899S76 ~ % apt-cache showpkg ansible

..

Provides: 

2.2.0.0-1ppa~trusty - 

1.7.2+dfsg-1~ubuntu14.04.1 - 

1.5.4+dfsg-1 - 

3:) I use the synchronize module in a playbook now and have a problem, that, as far as I've read, has been solved in Ansible 2.1.

When using become: yes with the synchronize module it tries to use sudo not on the remote machine but on the Ansible server. You can read about it here, e.g.: http://cheat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ansible/synchronize.html

Has anyone had the same behavior? Am I getting something wrong? Any help would be appreciated :)

It looks like you have several versions of Ansible installed, I
recommend removing all traces and reinstalling from the latest.

As for the docs, those are not the official documentation.
