The parameter force=false makes the copy command fail when the destination exists. This should be a success instead.
Example task:
```
- name: copy authorized_keys
copy:
src: /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys
remote_src: true
dest: /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
force: false # only copy when missing
```
Failure:
```
