Extracted and all libreoffice rpms kept at /home//LibreOffice\_4.4.1.2\_Linux\_x86-64\_rpm/RPMS/

name: “/home/LibreOffice\_4.4.1.2\_Linux\_x86-64\_rpm/RPMS/\*.rpm”  
state: present

above task failing with error  
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “No Package file matching ‘/home/LibreOffice\_4.4.1.2\_Linux\_x86-64\_rpm/RPMS/\*.rpm’ found on system”, “rc”: 0, “results”: }

Look into using with\_fileglob for looping over a list of local files.

Worked…!!

- yum:  
name: {{ item }}  
state: present  
with\_fileglob:
- “/home/LibreOffice\_4.4.1.2\_Linux\_x86-64\_rpm/RPMS/\*.rpm”
