Still having some trouble with this. I changed the registered variables to
apt_result and zypper_result:
- name: (SuSE) Update all packages to latest versions
when: ansible_os_family == "Suse"
zypper:
name: '*'
state: latest
type: package
update_cache: yes
register: zypper_result
- name: (Debian) Update all packages to latest versions
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
apt:
name: '*'
state: latest
update_cache: yes
force_apt_get: yes
autoremove: yes
register: apt_result
But the zypper module returns completely different parameters than the apt
module. Shouldn't it contain stdout and stderr too? I've tried removing all
the apt stuff to eliminate any conflicts but the results didn't change.
This is the zypper_result variable dump. It runs zypper update just fine on
the host but I'm not getting the return values I want. At minimum I need
the stdout and stderr output.
ok: [raamah] => {
"zypper_result": {
"changed": false,
"cmd": [
"/usr/bin/zypper",
"--quiet",
"--non-interactive",
"--xmlout",
"update",
"--type",
"package",
"--auto-agree-with-licenses",
"--no-recommends"
],
"failed": false,
"name": [
"*"
],
"rc": 0,
"state": "latest",
"update_cache": true
}
}
The apt dump again:
ok: [webtest01] => {
"apt_result": {
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"msg": "Reading package lists...\nBuilding dependency
tree...\nReading state information...\nCalculating upgrade...\n0 upgraded,
0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.\n",
"stderr": "",
"stderr_lines": [],
"stdout": "Reading package lists...\nBuilding dependency
tree...\nReading state information...\nCalculating upgrade...\n0 upgraded,
0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.\n",
"stdout_lines": [
"Reading package lists...",
"Building dependency tree...",
"Reading state information...",
"Calculating upgrade...",
"0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
]
}
}
