Hi all,

I am using package module to install packages in the system. But I need to handle a specific case for example some ubuntu kernel requires some specific command to be run for installing the package.

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/package\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/package_module.html)

I want to store the package module output to a variable and check whether specific strings appear in stdout and handle that specific case. Can anyone help how can I achieve this ?  
Any code snippet will help.

Regards  
Pradeep
