Hi All,

Could some please explain to me the following error message - I don’t understand it (or, more accurately, I don’t understand it well enough to fix it):

```auto
[ERROR]: Task failed: Module failed: dnf repolist parse failure: parsed another repo id before next status

```

This was caused by the following task (which, you’ll note, is a direct copy from the module’s webpage, apart from the actual task name):

```auto
- name: Enable CRB Repo
  community.general.dnf_config_manager:
    name: crb
    state: enabled

```

Thanks in advance

Cheers  
Dulux-Oz

Well, what output do you get from `dnf repolist --all --verbose`? [This line](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/e9b1788bb9390f7d27852bc6c8da213d71d581d8/plugins/modules/dnf_config_manager.py#L136) runs that, then the following code steps through the output and matches it against the regexes. Look for two lines in the output that match `^Repo-id\s*:\s*(\S+)$` without a line matching `^Repo-status\s*:\s*(disabled|enabled)$` in between.

Hi @flowerysong, and thanks for getting back to me.

So, I got rid of all of the `*.repo` files except for `rocky.repo` (in an effort to minimise the resulting data) and ran the `dnf repolist --all --verbose` command. Results are as follows:

```

I can’t see (in the above) anywhere where there is two `^Repo-id\s*:\s*(\S+)$` lines without a `` line between them (but then again, my eyesight isn’t good), and yet I’m still getting the original error.

Have I missed something (includeing not understanding the Regex properly) or is there something else happening - what do you think?

And thanks heaps for the help

Cheers
