I keep running into the same issue when trying to setup trellis.

```
Failed to update apt cache: unknown reason
fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"changed": false}

RUNNING HANDLER [fail2ban : restart fail2ban] **********************************
changed: [default]

RUNNING HANDLER [ferm : restart ferm] ******************************************

RUNNING HANDLER [ntp : restart ntp] ********************************************

RUNNING HANDLER [sshd : restart ssh] *******************************************

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
default : ok=41 changed=19 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=14 rescued=0 ignored=0

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.
```

I have read other threads and tried the suggestions for running apt-get update and vagrant destroy, but none of them work.

Do you get any useful debugging info if you run ansible w/ verbose output? i.e. `-vvv` (I think is the argument)

The mariadb mirror seems to be having latency issues and possibly downtime: [mirrors.gigenet.com/mariadb/repo/10.5/ubuntu](http://mirrors.gigenet.com/mariadb/repo/10.5/ubuntu)

Now the ouput of `sudo apt update` is:

```
$ sudo apt update

```

Going manually to [Index of /mariadb/repo/10.5/ubuntu/](http://mirrors.gigenet.com/mariadb/repo/10.5/ubuntu/) lists empty folders.  
Has [gigenet.com](http://gigenet.com) stopped mirroring mariadb? I’ve asked them via email now, I’ll update if I get a reply.

The repo is back online, here’s an email reply I received:

> Hello,

> My apologies, at the time our mirrors server was undergoing maintenance, and MariaDB automatically disables mirror sites undergoing maintenance. The repo is back online now.

Okay, I will try again and provide more debugging info.
