I checked a few more things. python-apt and python3-apt are the same version on the remote server that doesn't work right as it is on the vagrant vm that does work right. 0.9.3.5ubuntu2.
I cleared out old tmp data from .ansible. I tried using my automated user on another remote server instead of my local laptop. I changed the package_staging directory to a local directory instead of an nfs mount. I made sure fact_caching = memory. Or, rather, made sure it is not manually set in ansible.cfg. It's commented out. 'Course, if that was the issue, it should have caused the vagrant vm to not work either. It's obviously got to be something on my remote server causing this. But I'm at a loss as to what more I can check...
