Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Yep, I had the same problem and it looks like it's related to ansible 
2.4 handling of inventory.

See 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/porting_guide_2.4.html#inventory 
for more info.

Weirdly enough, if I replace:

ansible-playbook site.yml -i environments/local/inventory

with:

ansible-playbook site.yml -i environments/local

The playbook works, though it issues a lot of warnings at the beginning.
