Let's make sure I understand what you are saying. If I have something like
- name: Install package Foo
package:
name: "{{ foo_packages }}"
update_cache: yes
state: latest
even though /etc/foo.conf is part of the package, deleting it will not
trigger a reinstall because it will not be overwritten during an
upgrade, right? If that is the case, I would need to do something like
- name: Check if the Foo config is installed
stat:
path: "{{ Foo_config }}"
register: foo_config
and then trigger an reinstall if foo_config.stat.exists == False
