Jonathan,
Thanks for the idea but that's not it. I even cut and paste the text from
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/yum_module.html#yum-module:
- name: Install a list of packages
yum:
name:
- nginx
- postgresql
- postgresql-server
state: present
Into my playbook and when I run it I still get:
fatal: [IPADDRESS]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"pkg_mgr": "yum"
},
"changed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"conf_file": null,
"disable_gpg_check": false,
"disablerepo": null,
"enablerepo": null,
"install_repoquery": true,
"list": null,
"name": "['nginx', 'postgresql', 'postgresql-server']",
"state": "present",
"update_cache": false
}
},
"msg": "No Package matching '['nginx'' found available, installed or
updated",
"rc": 0,
"results": []
}
Yet on the machine in question:
# yum search nginx
Loaded plugins: extras_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd
229 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
======================================================== N/S matched: nginx
=========================================================
collectd-nginx.x86_64 : Nginx plugin for collectd
munin-nginx.noarch : NGINX support for Munin resource monitoring
nextcloud-nginx.noarch : Nginx integration for NextCloud
nginx-all-modules.noarch : A meta package that installs all available Nginx
modules
nginx-filesystem.noarch : The basic directory layout for the Nginx server
nginx-mod-http-geoip.x86_64 : Nginx HTTP geoip module

Webserver
python2-certbot-nginx.noarch : The nginx plugin for certbot
nginx.x86_64 : A high performance web server and reverse proxy server
This still seems to be some kind of bug in yum module parsing the list?
