Can't find package `gitlab-runner` about ansible-gitlab-runner HOT 5 CLOSED

Ran into the same issue just now.
Not sure about the cause, but I was able to work around this by temporarily removing the failing task as its only purpose is to unpin/ unhold the specified version in order to switch to a different version. As this was an ansible run on a clean install there is no packaged pinned and this step isn't required.

@Flowm thank you for providing details!

I was forced to make few more changes in files:

• tasks/install-debian.yml
• tasks/register-runner.yml

Full diff of my changes available at - master...artinnok:ansible-gitlab-runner:master

Only after such modifications I was able to run this role.

Seems this message did not get a lot of love. This does not mean it was not seen but time wise might not have made it to proper attention. This is just the clean up action ;)
