Hey,

could not find any related issue but wanted to get you involved first:  
All my roles which deal with installing packages do

1. configure a list with packages to be installed in {{ ansible\_os\_family }}.yml vars files  
2. Install packages with action: "{{ ansible\_pkg\_mgr }} state=STATE name={{ item }}"

Just installed devel 2.0.0.14307.620fad9 and get this:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ERROR! this task '{{' has extra params, which is only allowed in the following modules: command, shell, script, include, include\_vars, add\_host, group\_by, set\_fact, meta

Here's the task:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- name: Install Ansible module dependencies  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tags: util  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;become: true  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with\_flattened:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- util\_package\_list\_ansible\_deps  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- util\_package\_list\_custom  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;action: "{{ ansible\_pkg\_mgr }} state={{ util\_package\_state }} name={{ item }}"

This would be a huge step back in productivity if this would not work with v2.

File a bug/issue?
