I diagnosed it first by reverting the ansible version to 2.3.1.0 and it
worked:
"changed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"conf_file": null,
"disable_gpg_check": false,
"disablerepo": null,
"enablerepo": null,
"exclude": null,
"install_repoquery": true,
"installroot": "/",
"list": null,
"name": [
"*"
],
"skip_broken": false,
"state": "installed",
"update_cache": true,
"validate_certs": true
}
},
"msg": " Warning: Due to potential bad behaviour with rhnplugin and
certificates, used slower repoquery calls instead of Yum API.",
"rc": 0,
"results": [
"systemd-libs-219-42.el7_4.1.x86_64 providing * is already
installed"
]
}
I then went ahead and ran this command on the node "yum makecache" and it
was successful.
so that's the only reason i am thinking about ansible version.
This is the part of error i get with ansible 2.4.1.0:
