if the rpm query is missing a package name (or giving some error): fail soft
before the patch: the module fails because the installed_state dict is missing the package name
after the patch: the missing package is assumed to not be in the correct state and is installed/removed with zypper
package_latest was calling package_present but did not care
about the return code so errors in package_present were hidden
and everthing look ok on the console when zypper update did not fail,
but no packages where installed.
Fix bug in ansible get_package_state and get_current_version that breaks when there are multiple versions of a package installed and there is a list of packages to install.
The previous implementation used 'zip' to match requested names to installed names which fails, because rpm outputs multiple lines per package when there are multiple versions.
Testcase: Install opensuse, install multiple kernel versions (happens by update)
Before patch: calling
zypper: state=present for name={{item}}
with_items:
- kernel-desktop
- git
leads to ansible aborting.
After the patch ansible performs as expected and makes sure both packages are present.
Also the last version number is used for further update information in this version (before if only one package name was given the oldest version number was used).
