Ansible installation is broken on Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS) about swarmlet

I am experiencing the same behaviour on Ubuntu 20.04. The install script runs the interactive installer and stops when it installs Ansible.

The following command exits with error code different than 0, most likely Swarmlet installer stops because of that:

# apt-add-repository -y --update ppa:ansible/ansible

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Underlying issue:
ansible/ansible#68645

Easiest way to fix this seems to either install Ansible without adding the PPA, or use pip3 to install it.

Fixed on the develop branch.
