Running a deploy-stack on monolith fails on the pgbouncer install step:

> ```auto
> TASK [pgbouncer : pgbouncer install] *****************************************************************************************************************************************************
> fatal: [10.2.0.4]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to update apt cache: unknown reason"}
> 
> ```

> ```auto
> PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
> 10.2.0.4 : ok=145 changed=11 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=109 rescued=0 ignored=0
> 
> ```

The apt log at /var/log/apt/history.log shows:

`Start-Date: 2025-08-23 10:42:35`  
`Commandline: /usr/bin/apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold install git`  
`Requested-By: ansible (3001)`  
`Upgrade: git:amd64 (1:2.49.0-2~ppa1~ubuntu22.04.1, 1:2.51.0-0ppa2~ubuntu22.04.1), git-man:amd64 (1:2.49.0-2~ppa1~ubuntu22.04.1, 1:2.51.0-0ppa2~ubuntu22.04.1)`  
`End-Date: 2025-08-23 10:42:41`

When running  
`/usr/bin/apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold install git`  
as the ansible user, the error is

`sudo -u ansible /usr/bin/apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold install git`  
`E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)`  
`E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?`

I assume it needs to be run with sudo but isn’t being?

Thanks

Just bumping this as it’s affecting an upgrade on a server, should I be opening a JIRA ticket?  
Thanks!

The server in question is now on commit [Merge pull request #36980 from dimagi/create-pull-request/update-tran… · dimagi/commcare-hq@3a8f328 · GitHub](https://github.com/dimagi/commcare-hq/commit/3a8f328a3cef83a520259541ffd6d81c8523047b) but I’m still unable to run a deploy-stack because of the apt-get failure during PGBouncer install:

```auto
ASK [pgbouncer : pgbouncer install] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* fatal: [10.2.0.4]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to update apt cache: unknown reason"}

```

Any reason why this would fail? Also, should I be concerned about not being able to apply changelog 88 if uv is installed?

`uv 0.7.5`
