Issue running ansible playbook while specifying in vagrantfile

Vagrant
1

Not sure if this is a vagrant thing or ansible thing, but running into a issue when trying to get an ansible playbook while specified in the vagrantfile. Here is my Vagrantfile:

# vi: set ft=ruby :                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
# -*- mode: ruby -*-    
    
# All Vagrant configuration is done below. The "2" in Vagrant.configure    
# configures the configuration version (we support older styles for    
# backwards compatibility). Please don't change it unless you know what

HOST_PORT_START = 8086    
HA_PORT_START = 8081

  (1..NODE_COUNT).each do |i|    
    config.vm.define "proxy-node0#{i}" do |subconfig|

      subconfig.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|    
        vb.name = "node#{i}"    
        vb.memory = 1024    
        vb.cpus   = 1    
      end    
    subconfig.vm.box = PLUS_IMAGE    
    subconfig.vm.hostname = "node0#{i}"    
    subconfig.vm.network :private_network, ip: "172.16.10.#{i + 20}"    
    subconfig.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: "#{HA_PORT_START + i}"    
    subconfig.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8080, host: "#{PLUS_DASHBOARD + i}"    
    subconfig.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|    
      ansible.playbook = "./provisioners/ansible/mainplus.yml"    
      ansible.inventory_path = "./provisioners/ansible/inventory"    
    end    
    subconfig.vm.provision "setup-hosts", :type => "shell", :path => "provisioners/scripts/setup-hosts.sh" do |s|    
      s.args = ["enp0s8"]    
    end    
  end    
end

      subconfig.ssh.private_key_path = ["/home/xxxx.ssh/vagrant", "~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"]    
      subconfig.vm.provision "file", source: "/home/xxxx/.ssh/vagrant.pub", destination: "~/.ssh/authorized_keys"    
      subconfig.ssh.insert_key = false    
      subconfig.vm.synced_folder "data/greyscale/", "/opt/www"

      #subconfig.ssh.insert_key = false    
      subconfig.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|    
        vb.name = "haweb0-#{i}"    
        vb.memory = 1024    
        vb.cpus   = 1    
      end    
      subconfig.vm.box = PLUS_IMAGE

        ansible.playbook = "./provisioners/ansible/mainfoss.yml"    
        ansible.inventory_path = "./provisioners/ansible/inventory"    
      end    
      subconfig.vm.provision "setup-hosts", :type => "shell", :path => "provisioners/scripts/setup-hosts.sh" do |s|    
        s.args = ["enp0s8"]    
      end    
    end    
  end    
end

And this is the error I am seeing when executing vagrant up:

TASK [Install extra tools] *****************************************************
fatal: [proxy-node01]: FAILED! => {"cache_update_time": 1596042500, "cache_updated": false, "changed": false, "msg": "'/usr/bin/apt-get -y -o \"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef\" -o \"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold\"      install 'gnupg2'' failed

-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)", "E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

I think that something might be running that has not finished executing and this causes a ‘race’ condition.

Just thought i’d ask here, get some extra eyes on it.
Thank you.

Hey there, looks like this error is related to ansible. This issue might be related https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/51663. It also looks like there are some workarounds written up in the issue.

that is very helpful. Thank you. I did some more research after reading the above link, looks like there are some things I need to shut off in ubuntu to help with the issue.
Thank you!
