Yum says it will do a wild card on the update (equivalent to “yum update”). Will the module “package” also do a wildcard?

I’m trying a test. I have:

tasks:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;- name: update packages  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;package:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;name: ‘\*’  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;state: latest

And executed as:  
ansible-playbook -u root -k —limit host yum.yml

and get:  
fatal: [host]: FAIKED! =\> {“msg”: “module (yum) is missing interpreter line”}
