Bifrost failing because of missing SUDO_USER

The building of Bifrost container seems to fail because ansible_env.SUDO_USER is undefined:

the field 'args' has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The error was: {{ ansible_env.SUDO_USER }}: 'dict object' has no attribute 'SUDO_USER'

this is pretty strange as this exact playbook forces all tasks to be run under 'become' [0] so this var should be there after facts gathering

are you somehow forcing become off when running this playbook?

I think that is disappearing because it is using the "localhost" connection plugin which might not use it? Could it be related to the Ansible version which is installed as part of the virtual environment that's already there?

    Gate fixes: disable bifrost-base, fix ubuntu base image

    At the moment, Bifrost has caused a few failures which have
    blocked the gate, the latest of which is documented in the
    bug listed below (alongside with another one that caused another
    gate failure).

    In order to let patches flow though, we're disabling it
    from the gate build checks as agreed on the Kolla meeting on
    the 22nd of March 2017. Also, the Ubuntu base image seems
    to have a missing /etc/protocols which is created by the
    netbase package. This has been added to the base images.

    There are issues with subunit getting a very large log all
    at once which causes failures that is causing issues. We
    also enable logging to a local folder which will make
    troubleshooting image builds easier to read and avoid
    sending a large blob of data to subunit.
