Using Ansible unarchive module with Alpine Linux

If you are running Ansible on Alpine Linux and you use the unarchive builtin module you might have faced the following error message:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: b'-T'

The reason for this is that the unzip tool in Alpine does not have a -T option. To be able to use the unarchive Ansible module with Alpine Linux, you need to install unzip:

apk add unzip
