Hi,

i’m also using Ansible for rolling updates( dry-run first) on Ubuntu/CentOS but i recognized that with the same cli command, Apt provide a larger verbose output than Yum:

`  
ansible myhost -i inventories/production/prod --check -vvvv -m yum -a “name=\* state=latest update\_cache=yes”

`

In output this command gives me only SSH output + success state

Instead executing:

`  
ansible myhost\_ubuntu -i inventories/production/prod --check -vvvv -m apt -a “upgrade=yes update\_cache=yes”

`

In output this command gives me SSH output + all info about packages that will be installed/removed

i tried also to set up “error\_legel” on yum.conf, do you have any ideas?

Thank you advance, A.M

there’s an active PR being worked on to address this: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/1657](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/1657)

I think queridiculo was working on reformatting the output to be more friendly to use in conditionals.
