Hi Folks, Having a problem with a rc 126 from yum. I have tried the following options and am receiving the following error messages. I did find a reference to this particular error but not on RHEL 2.9.27 (which is what I’m running) This was working until I removed a variable from the ansible module but has not worked since (I’m unsure if this was the issue, it may be a red herring). I am running with a RedHat Satellite as my content server. As I note below, I can do this manually on the server in question. Ansible seems to have lost parts of its environment at some point, it can’t see the paths anymore. I am able to do a yum/dnf info pbis-open on the server that the playbook is being run on. I can also do a simple # yum install pbis-open and this works fine. Any thoughts would be most appreciated Thanks David ansible.builtin.yum TASK [/etc/ansible/roles/glx-pbis-master : Install pbis] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /etc/ansible/roles/glx-pbis-master/tasks/redhat\_install.yml:12 fatal: [dcslanstsap01t.cprod.corp.ntgov]: FAILED! =\> changed=false msg: No package matching ‘pbis-open’ found available, installed or updated rc: 126 results: - No package matching ‘pbis-open’ found available, installed or updated ansible.builtin.package TASK [/etc/ansible/roles/glx-pbis-master : Install pbis] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /etc/ansible/roles/glx-pbis-master/tasks/redhat\_install.yml:12 fatal: [dcslanstsap01t.cprod.corp.ntgov]: FAILED! =\> changed=false msg: No package matching ‘pbis-open’ found available, installed or updated rc: 126 results: - No package matching ‘pbis-open’ found available, installed or updated ansible.built.shell and yum as command TASK [/etc/ansible/roles/glx-pbis-master : Install pbis] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /etc/ansible/roles/glx-pbis-master/tasks/redhat\_install.yml:12 fatal: [dcslanstsap01t.cprod.corp.ntgov]: FAILED! =\> changed=true cmd: yum install “pbis-open” delta: ‘0:00:00.526719’ end: ‘2022-07-11 10:24:44.942498’ msg: non-zero return code rc: 1 start: ‘2022-07-11 10:24:44.415779’ stderr: ‘Error: Nothing to do’ stderr\_lines: stdout: |- Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription- : manager This system is not registered with an entitlement server.

> Hi Folks, > > Having a problem with a rc 126 from yum. I have tried the following options and am receiving the following error messages. I did find a reference to this particular error but not on RHEL 2.9.27 (which is what I'm running) "ansible-2.9" is obsolete and should be updated to ansible-core 2.11 at lease. EPEL is probably not going to publish ansible-core for RHEL 7, since RHEL 8 is publishing ansible-core and it's.... well, it's awkward to repackage for RHEL 7. I've done it, over at [https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/](https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/), but only publish RPM building tools, not RPMs. Ignore the "ansible" package from now on, install nad use ansible-core. What is now called "ansible" isn't, it's a bundle of more than 100 distinct ansible galaxy collection modules and of very little practical use to most ansible server setups. The modules can be installed individually if needed, which is much smaller and likely more stable. > This was working until I removed a variable from the ansible module but has not worked since (I'm unsure if this was the issue, it may be a red herring).

Do a "yum list pbs-open" to get a better handle on the issue. Because that package is not in the standard CENTOS or publich RHEL channels, as best I can tell. ---

Unfortunately RH are still insisting on using 2.9 as their only solution without paying for Ansible Automation platform. I will look at updating but I’ve done the yum list, yum info and yum install from the command line on the server I’m running the playbook on. I’m happy to attach logs but which ones?

> Unfortunately RH are still insisting on using 2.9 as their only solution without paying for Ansible Automation platform. Update to RHEL 8, for which ansible-core 2.12 is available as an RPM. ansible-core 2.11 can be fairly easily built for RHEL 7 as an RPM if you need, my published building tools ar at [https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo](https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo) > I will look at updating but I've done the yum list, yum info and yum install from the command line on the server I'm running the playbook on.

Would only use sudo as the permissions are set to not allow non-root users to install software. We like to know what they are putting on there. I’ll certainly look at utilising a more recent version ut need to take some time as I’m currently using ansible on the Satellite server Thanks When in trouble, or in doubt Run in circles, scream and shout
