Problem with installing latest java

[mupsnc]

Hi,
I have a problem when I play the playbook on clean Ubuntu 14.04 LTS image

TASK [FGtatsuro.java : Install Java with APT] **********************************
fatal: [62.3.168.232]: FAILED! => {"cache_update_time": 1468307188, "cache_updated": false, "changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "'/usr/bin/apt-get -y -o "Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef" -o "Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold" install 'openjdk-8-jdk' -o APT::Install-Recommends=no' failed: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.\n", "stderr": "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.\n", "stdout": "Reading package lists...\nBuilding dependency tree...\nReading state information...\nSome packages could not be installed.

It looks like some dependencies are unmet.

@mupsnc
Thank you for your report.

Unfortunately, this role doesn't support Ubuntu officially.
https://galaxy.ansible.com/FGtatsuro/java/

But FGtatsuro/ansible-java#12 may resolve the issue you have now.
Please overwrite java_apt_repositories variable with openJDK repository for Ubuntu as follows.

java_apt_repositories:
  - 'ppa:openjdk-r/ppa'

thanks.
