module: apt
short_description: Manages apt-packages
description:
  - Manages I(apt) packages (such as for Debian/Ubuntu).
version_added: "0.0.2"
options:
  name:
    description:
      - A package name, like C(foo), or package specifier with version, like C(foo=1.0). Name wildcards (fnmatch) like C(apt*) and version wildcards like C(foo=1.0*) are also supported.  Note that the apt-get commandline supports implicit regex matches here but we do not because it can let typos through easier (If you typo C(foo) as C(fo) apt-get would install packages that have "fo" in their name with a warning and a prompt for the user.  Since we don't have warnings and prompts before installing we disallow this.  Use an explicit fnmatch pattern if you want wildcarding)
    required: false
    default: null
    aliases: [ 'pkg', 'package' ]
  state:
    description:
      - Indicates the desired package state. C(latest) ensures that the latest version is installed. C(build-dep) ensures the package build dependencies are installed.

    required: false
    default: no
    choices: [ "yes", "no" ]
  cache_valid_time:
    description:
      - Update the apt cache if its older than the I(cache_valid_time). This option is set in seconds.
    required: false
    default: 0
  purge:
    description:
     - Will force purging of configuration files if the module state is set to I(absent).
    required: false
    default: no
    choices: [ "yes", "no" ]
  default_release:
    description:
      - Corresponds to the C(-t) option for I(apt) and sets pin priorities
    required: false
    default: null
  install_recommends:
    description:
      - Corresponds to the C(--no-install-recommends) option for I(apt). C(yes) installs recommended packages.  C(no) does not install recommended packages. By default, Ansible will use the same defaults as the operating system. Suggested packages are never installed.
    required: false

    required: false
    default: "no"
    choices: [ "no", "yes", "safe", "full", "dist"]
  dpkg_options:
    description:
