I am having a problem with a role that I am working on to install rpm's on 
a rhel server.  If a package in the list is not found, the playbook fails 
to install any of the packages.  Is there a way to work around this outside 
of only including available rpm's in my list?  I know that the osad package 
is not in the current repos, but my expectation was that it would simply 
fail and move on to the next package in the list, not fail the entire list. 
 Is there error handling that would address this?

This is the main.yml task for the role: 
/etc/ansible/roles/install-base-packages

---
- name: Add the OS Major Release specific variables
  include_vars: 'rhel{{ ansible_distribution_major_version }}.yml'
  tags: [ 'common', 'lst-rpm-base' ]

- name: Install the required LST base packages
  yum: name="{{ item }}" state=present
  with_items: "{{ rpm_base_pkgs }}"
  tags: [ 'common', 'lst-rpm-base' ]


This is my role var file for rhel6 servers: 
/etc/ansible/roles/install-base-packages/vars/rhel6.yml

rpm_base_pkgs:
  - lvm2
  - net-tools
  - ksh
  - lsscsi
  - nmap
  - nc
  - osad
  - oddjob-mkhomedir
  - oddjob
