Can you clarify what constraint the “yum” module has as I would be surprised if it can’t accommodate all common yum related tasks? Can’t you just specify package name with version (name) and enable downgrade (allow_downgrade)?

How is it possible, 2 version of same rpms on machine and even task is stuck.

But if i do manually (outside ansible), these commands work perfectly . Morover it dont have any dependency on other rpm and even on env.

Observed once i use -y option as below: --- - hosts: localhost tasks: - name: Install specific version of a package in Ansible. command: yum -y downgrade <rpmname> ~ TASK is stuck and no logs as below: TASK [Install specific version of a package in Ansible.] ************************************************************************************************************************************ task path: /var/opt/OC/iso/downgrade_playbook.yml:4 And i abormally terminates this after some time. But surprisingly i found both version of rpm install once i do : rpm -qa | grep <rpm name> rpmname.v1 rpmname.v2 Its strange and its not the behaviour of yum downgrade as compared to once someone run manually this command.
