You should try to figure out why Ansible thinks your host is running a debian-based linux OS

[Abdelsalam-Abbas]

I know this issue is old but I faced this issue now and fixed it. I hope if anyone face this error can fix it too.

Actually, this happens mostly because of installing kargo multiple times with different OS in each time. this option

fact_caching_connection= /tmp at [repo]/ansible.cfg which create a file with the name of your hosts like:
/tmp/k8s-0[1-3]

Note: it can be different if you are not using default configruation - but it will usually be your host hostname

This file contains a cached information about your host for ansible which mostly was created at first for a different host that had the same hostname but different OS , you need to delete this file at /tmp
you can double check by grep "ansible_os_family" /tmp/k8s-01
You will find it mostly as in this case "ansible_os_family": "Debian", which is incorrect and need to by updated by deleting this file.

Fix is

rm /tmp/k8s-0*
