Anything else do we need to know:

I noticed this problem was reported in #50 and #122 by @ant31 but the issues were closed and no information given about how the problem was resolved.

[ionsquare]

I was able to work around this issue by making two changes:

1. Remove the package from the list in roles/kubernetes/preinstall/defaults/main.yml

  - python-httplib2

1. Install with pip instead by adding these lines after the "Install packages requirements" section in roles/kubernetes/preinstall/tasks/main.yml:

- name: RedHat/CentOS - Install pip
  command: bash -c "curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python -"
  sudo: yes

- name: Install httplib2
  pip: name=httplib2

[ant31]

@ionsquare can you provide a PR with the changes you made?
Sorry I don't recall how I fixed it, I think it was related to non-tty setup, I should have commented resolution in the tickets you listed.

Helped me as well on AWS RedHat instances.
