So, the thing here is that the python API interface to ansible is not something that is stable and supported by ansible. From the docs: "Please note that while we make this API available it is not intended for direct consumption, it is here for the support of the Ansible command line tools. We try not to make breaking changes but we reserve the right to do so at any time if it makes sense for the Ansible toolset. The following documentation is provided for those that still want to use the API directly, but be mindful this is not something the Ansible team supports." So, this API can (and in fact has) changed in other releases. Aside from a pretty small number of cases ansible 2.0 handles playbooks written for 1.9.x just fine. For those small numbers of folks, we have provided the ansible1.9 package, but note that it will go away once upstream stops supporting 1.9.x updates. As discussed on IRC the main problem is that --allowerasing doesn't help on the migration from ansible to ansible1.9: # rpm -qa ansible ansible-2.0.1.0-2.fc23.noarch # dnf install ansible1.9 --allowerasing Last metadata expiration check: 0:35:24 ago on Wed Apr 27 15:41:53 2016. Dependencies resolved. ==================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ==================================================================================================================================================== Installing: ansible1.9 noarch 1.9.6-1.fc23 updates 1.7 M Downgrading: ansible noarch 1.9.3-2.fc23 fedora 1.7 M Transaction Summary ==================================================================================================================================================== Install 1 Package Downgrade 1 Package Total size: 3.4 M Is this ok [y/N]: n Operation aborted.

Looking at the 1.9 spec file it MIGHT help to change: Conflicts: ansible >= 2 To: Conflicts: ansible But i'm not sure if a package can Provide and Conflict with the same name.
