Ansible doesn’t see that it is configured:

tasks:

- name: configure timezone  
become: yes  
ios\_config:  
lines:
- clock timezone CET 1 0
- clock summer-time CEST recurring last Sun Mar 2:00 last Sun Oct 3:00

each time , i run it status is “changed”, command that is triggering the change is: “clock summer-time”

I don’t see any difference, why is ansible not skipping ?  
Might it have something to do with the special characters in the string: “:” and “-” ???

running Ansible 2.5.2 in Tower
