'easy_install' executable were still left behind and need to be removed
for the customizable 'executable' task argument to correctly work:
'_get_easy_install' should take care of all the functionality related to
determining the correct 'easy_install' executable to use.
This will allow specifying dpkg options as a string passed over to apt
command. dpkg_options expects a comma-separated string of options to be
passed as dpkg options which will be further expanded. For example
dpkg_options='force-confdef,force-confold' will end up as
-o \"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold\" when passed to apt
Example usage would be:
-m apt -u ubuntu -s \
-a "upgrade=dist update_cache=yes dpkg_options='force-confold'"
or
apt: upgrade=dist update_cache=yes dpkg_options='force-confold'
This module supports `virtualenv_site_packages` as an option to control whether or not to include system packages when installing pip packages into a virtual environment.
The default is no, and when you say yes it explicitly it includes a flag to include site packages, otherwise it doesn't provide a flag.
Some versions of virtualenv by default include site packages and other versions by default do not.
This patch just makes both branches explicit, so `virtualenv_site_packages=no` really means no.
on Mint as it work on Debian, fix#4587.
PPAs are not supported however, since that's a Ubuntu specific feature
and mint is detected as a generic distribution and use a different
codename than the Ubuntu release it is based on, which mean that apt_repository
cannot add detect and add the proper url without a better heuristic.

If one pins a package and does a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' then the
output looks like:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
cassandra
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
The check for any changes made should only be on the 'upgraded' and
'newly installed' values and not include the 'to remove' and 'not
upgraded' values.
The default behavior is to update_cache if changed.
If you add more then one repo, you may not want to update cache for every repo separately.
So you can now disable update_cache with this new option e.g. update_cache=no
Updating cache can also be handled using the apt module.
