Description Laurentiu Pancescu 2016-05-19 09:35:34 UTC
Description of problem:
Ansible's dnf module displays "skipping" instead of "changed" as status, when installing or removing packages (although it performs the requested action).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.2.0-1.fc23

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
I'm using Ansible with something like this in a role task:

- name: install devel packages
  dnf: name={{ item }} state=present
  with_items:
  - vim-enhanced
  - git-all
  - mercurial

- name: enable COPR for CentOS Packager
  command: dnf -y copr enable bstinson/centos-packager

- name: install tools for CentOS development
  dnf: name=centos-packager state=present

- name: remove unwanted packages
  dnf: name={{ item }} state=absent
  with_items:
  - midori
  - abiword
  - gnumeric

- name: install office packages
  dnf: name={{ item }} state=present
  with_items:
  - @LibreOffice
  - gnucash


Actual results:
When running ansible-playbook on a freshly installed F23 XFCE Spin, it installs and removes the packages as requested (I checked via "dnf list installed <package>"), but it displays "skipping" as a result, instead of "changed". The only package for which it displays the correct status as "changed" is centos-packager (all the other ones come from the official F23 repos and return "skipping").

If I run ansible-playbook again, it displays "ok" for all packages, as expected.


Expected results:
The status should be "changed" when packages were installed or removed, just like in previous versions of Ansible (both 1.9.x and 2.0.x).

This is I think https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/15211 upstream. 

It's already fixed in devel and will be fixed in the upcoming 2.1 release. 

Since 2.1 is going to come out pretty soon, I'd prefer to just wait for that rather than backporting.

Comment 2 Laurentiu Pancescu 2016-05-22 05:29:42 UTC
Thanks. I had thought it's a bug in the dnf module, so I only looked at the list of upstream issues in ansible-modules-extra.
