I tried to setup gerrit on (4.4.0-112-generic #135-Ubuntu (cloudimg)) using https://github.com/jpnewman/ansible-role-gerrit and it ended up with this error:

Steps to reproduce:
follow minimal example from jpnewman/ansible-role-gerrit

It probably requires sudo privs.
I'm not sure now because I installed java with Geerling's role, then changed privs on gerrit role.
