I use a screen trick but mostly useful when using commands modules. Anyway, if it hangs doing apt upgrade, the behavior should be the same if your run it as a command.

- debug: msg="Please, connect to {{ inventory_hostname }}, screen -r, and respond the possible questions."
   when: ansible_hostname == drbd_master.name
- name: Enable HA
*command: screen -dm -S halizard* bash -c 'ha-cfg status'
   when: ansible_hostname == drbd_master.name
   async: 60
   poll: 60

It's also useful when you cannot avoid interactive mode on some actions, but you miss the unattended possibilities.

Tony

So there is no solution to avoid being stuck on the following? It happens to me often when I am upgrading the system!
- name: upgrade all safe packages
  sudo: yes
  apt: upgrade=safe

Is there at least a way to see the progress? Looking at some logs on the machine?

The state of my machine is messy when this task is stuck because I have to stop ansible-playbook with CTRL+C and all the handlers are not notified... :-/

    apt should never need a parameter to not hang, however some
    *specific* packages can sometimes be poorly coded.

    Not saying that's the case here.

    I'd first check your ansible version and then file a bug with
    steps to reproduce.

        What is the parameter of the apt module to use to avoid that?

        I run the following and it hangs...

        - name: update APT package cache
        sudo: yes
        apt: update_cache=yes

        - name: upgrade all safe packages
        sudo: yes
        apt: upgrade=safe


        Thanks
