Hi,
I'm finally stuck with another case.

Sometimes I could get something like this :

So here, I have two results for the same package.
With the tip you gave me, I can only look into the first one, I know I
could add "item.results.1.yumstate" but I don't want to cause I could 
get
more than 2 results.

I tried with the "with_subelements" but it split the array by the 
number of
results I have and in that case I want to compare 
"item.results.0.yumstate"
and "item.results.1.yumstate"? But as I said I could get more.

To do this you need a loop in a loop.

Put the inner most loop in a yaml file and use include with with_itmes 
to loop the outer item and use loop_control to change the variable name.
