This happens with ansible 2.4.0.1 and latest debops on a fresh Debian Stretch machine.

Are you using MacOS X as your Ansible Controller? The debops.pki requires bash 4.x on the Controller side to work correctly, sorry. You might need to update your bash version.

[nodje]

I'm using zsh, so not compatible, and it seems bash on macOS 10.12 &10.13 is still 3.2.57. brew got me 4.4.12 but I messed up python on the way, it find ansible packages anymore...

Anyways, I got it running fine on an Archlinux instance anyway, so not an issue.

The bash 4.4.x requirement should be written somewhere though. I understand the simplicity for you to let people use a VM, but it seems a bit too much for me to setup a VM just for an ansible controller... Closing the issue.

You can now set up a VM using Vagrant or a Docker container that can act as an Ansible Controller. Instructions are in the README.rst in the monorepo.
