I opened [issue 62360](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/62360) and when I looked at it today, I saw it had been closed with the remark _This has been fixed in supported versions of Ansible_. I upgraded:

ansible [core 2.12.4]  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [‘/home/ubuntu/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible  
ansible collection location = /home/ubuntu/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections  
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible  
python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40) [GCC 9.3.0]  
jinja version = 3.0.1  
libyaml = True

and appears that the original problem persists. Should I open a new issue?

Seems to work as expected for me. state=absent with an asterisk for the name removed all the matching packages.

Were packages actually removed? I noted in the original issue that if package are removed, it works. It no packages are removed, it will fail.

Can you try running the playbook again?
