Even with the latest plugin - geerlingguy.nodejs (7.0.0) was installed successfully and Node 18.x:

fatal: [mqtt]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to update apt cache: W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_18.x\" nodistro Release' does not have a Release file."}

Same Problem here - is there a fix? 🤔

If you are interesting, you can target this fix: https://github.com/lecorguille/ansible-role-nodejs/pull/1

(I'm a shame to propose a PR since I didn't manage to work with deb822_repository things)
