I try to install the Ansible Galaxy role https://github.com/ontic/ansible-role-fonts and don't find any help in connection with the error message.
Here is what happens:
$ ansible-galaxy install ontic.fonts
Starting galaxy role install process
- downloading role 'fonts', owned by ontic
- downloading role from https://github.com/ontic/ansible-role-fonts/archive/v2.4.0.tar.gz
[WARNING]: - ontic.fonts was NOT installed successfully: this role does not appear to have a meta/Debian.yml file.
ERROR! - you can use --ignore-errors to skip failed roles and finish processing the list.
Obviously there is no meta/Debian.yml, correct. But why is it even needed?
Maybe it's a local issue?

I scrambled my local python virtual env, after creating a new one the issue was not reproducible anymore.
