Hey guys, I’ve encountered a weird problem with **yum** module. Working environment: **OS** : CentOS 6.4 **Kernel** : 2.6.32-358.e16.x86\_64 **Ansible** : 2.0.0 (devel b37be236d9) running from source I’d like to install **Erlang** in **CentOS 6.4** , to do that “ **erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm** ” must be installed first, which would add an extra repo entry (named **erlang\_solutions.repo** ), through that repo, we can install **Erlang**. So, here is what I’m doing in my playbook: ```auto - **name** : install erlang-solutions **yum** : **name** =http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm **state** =present ``` this task will be executed without any error, and the “ **erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm** ” will be installed on the destination host. running ` **yum list installed | grep erlang** `, and the result is: ```auto erlang-solutions.noarch 1.0-1 installed ``` BUT !!! There no extra repo entry added to ` **/etc/yum.repos.d** `, so, I still can’t install **Erlang**. Forget to say, that after install “ **erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm** ” with rpm command directly on the host, like: ```auto wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm ``` an extra yum repo entry named **erlang\_solutions.repo** will be added to ` **/etc/yum.repos.d** `. Thank you, guys Tim
