ldh_middleware playbook error: Unable to install package

While using the box playbook command, i tried to run the playbook against one of the boxes (hostname=ldhmiddleware):

$ shipwright box playbook ldhmiddleware ldh_developer/ldh_middleware.yml

Removing vagrant's invalid entries ...
Done

Internally, the box's command cd's into the box's $VAGRANT_HOME, resolves directory and file paths and execs ansible-playbook:

$ cd `shipwright box which ldhmiddleware`
nnieto@Ziltoid:~/.config/ldh_developer/box/ldhmiddleware$

nnieto@Ziltoid:~/.config/ldh_developer/box/ldhmiddleware$ ansible-playbook -u vagrant -i ./.vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory -e shipwright_box_config_home=. /home/nnieto/.config/ldh_developer/playbooks/ldh_developer/ldh_middleware.yml

So I'm posting this here for the record ...
