Hi,

When a package install is conflicting with other, apt module desinstall all packages in conflict  
to install the asked one, without notifying anything (except change).

I didn't see any option to prevent this on  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/modules/apt\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/modules/apt_module.html)

Is there a dpkg\_options to make the install task to fail if an installed package is in conflict  
with the one(s) to install ?

Thanks
