			the apt cache is the local version of the package database. if this hasn't been updated in a while it will be out of sync with the latest version of the package database from the web.

			<code>apt-get update</code> fixes this problem, but it can be time-consuming to run apt-get update every time you do anything with the playbook.

			apt tasks now accept a <code>cache_valid_time</code> parameter for the apt module that specifies how many seconds old the cache should be to update it.

			To make this setting 1 hour, set to 3600 s:
