ansible-role-sosreport's Issues

sosreport command fails with Ansible 2.9.6

Describe the bug

The sos report command fails with Ansible 2.9.6, which is the default version that comes with Ubuntu Focal.
Running with role from current master (b5cd02d)

Issue is not present with a more recent Ansible version (2.11.1)

Based on your release log I assume you intend to support this Ansible version.

What about just using the command module without arguments and with the "short" name? It is not ideal, but it should work on all versions.
