template error while templating string: expected token 'end of statement block', got 'integer'

[GeYebo]

I am trying to run algo on a PuroOS system for the first time and am getting the following error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check '_playbook_dir.stat.mode|int <= 0775' failed. The error was: template error while templating string: expected token 'end of statement block', got 'integer'. String: {% if _playbook_dir.stat.mode|int <= 0775 %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}"}

But I can't see what the problem might be. I get the same problem inside a vm running debian 10 (something I have done on a vm inside ubuntu). Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
