Hi Kai,
thanks for the nudge. I was able to solve the issue.

Ouch. That was not clear to me at all, but of course it explains
eveything. So you use with_fileglob mainly when you transport files from
the controller to the remote.

This is my code:
---
- name: search for sources.list files
find:
paths: "/etc/apt/sources.list.d"
patterns:
"zda-*.list,exp-mc.list,sid-mc.list,sid-zg-stable-mc.list,sid-zg-unstable-mc.list,stretch-mc.list,stretch-security.list,stretch-zg-stable-mc.list,stretch-zg-unstable-mc.list,buster-mc.list,stretch-zg-stable-mc.list,stretch-security.list"
register: sourceslistfiles
- name: delete sources.list files
file:
path: "{{ item.path }}"
state: absent
with_items: "{{ sourceslistfiles.files }}"
Thanks for helping.
Of course, this triggers immediately the next issue, such is when one
begins with new technology. Will post a new question soon.
Grüße
Marc
