Dear list,

I noticed the following behaviour with ansible 2.1.1.0

the following play:  
`

- hosts: all  
become: true

tasks:

- name: Install required packages  
yum: name={{ item }} state=latest update\_cache=yes  
with\_items:
- donotexist-1.2

`

output:  
`

$ ansible-playbook -i myinventory yum.yml
