Hi,
i've seen this issue in my tests. I've resolved changing "synchronize" with "copy":

  copy:
    src: "{{ local_release_dir }}/kubeadm-{{ kubeadm_version }}-{{ image_arch }}"
    dest: "{{ bin_dir }}/kubeadm"
    remote_src: yes
    mode: preserve

this issue is present in all "Copy ... binary from download dir"

I fixed it by adding interpreter_python=python3 in the [defaults] section of the ansible/kubespray/ansible.cfg file. It seems to be an issue with python 2, which was used by default.

The fix for me was to install sshpass on the the node the playbook was running against, which also required epel-release:

yum install epel-release
yum install sshpass

I have the same problem. I followed the recommendation of fastlorenzo but I maintain the problem. Could gelmistefano give me details of path for that code? Which is the name file?
