Comment 1 Martin Perina 2022-08-17 11:30:11 UTC 
So not sure why apt is installed on RHEL hosts, it shouldn't be installed by default. But we can override the automatic package manager identification inside package_facts module, by using 'manager: rpm' as RHV supports only RHVH or RHEL-H hypervisors.
Comment 2 Klaas Demter 2022-08-25 08:20:47 UTC 
Hi,
I'd say it's not a bug in rhv/ovirt, it's a bug in ansible for mistaking apt binary without checking if it's actually the apt package manager.
About workarounds, I don't think we actually need java installed on the rhel hypervisors, so I am recommending internally to just remove the package.
None the less I still think this is something that should at addressed in ansible if it's also happening outside of rhv/ovirt (I did not test that). Otherwise you can't install java and use ansible at the same time on rhel(or other rpm/yum/dnf) hosts.

Greetings
Klaas
