Hi, I’m trying to build new versions of my code into rpm’s then pushing them and install with ansible. All stages up to the yum install work and I have my new version rpm in the local directory. However when I run the yum command with the package name in the name parameter, the task is mared OK and the old version remains. to be more clear. installed package is \-1.0.0.noarch.rpm the new package to be installed is \-1.0.1.noarch.rpm But it does not install the 1.0.1 version. When I run yum install \/\-1.0.1.noarch.rpm manually from the instance then the package is updated. Is this a bug or is there some other way to do it which I’m missing. Thanks ---

If you are just giving the package name (without a version) then the yum module will check if that is installed. It is so no task needs to be performed. If you were using a repository you would find no difference. If you were using a repository and set the state to latest it would update but that is not valid for a local package. Your best bet is to specify the full package name, with version (or use a repository) ---

My issue is that even when stating full package name with version it does not update the package. ---

It's probably time to show us the playbooks in question. This does work for most people, it's possible you have made some error. ---

I’m having this same problem… What is your output? What’s wierd is that in the output it doesn’t even tell me that my RPM is already installed. It has blank results: ok: [10.0.201.83] =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “”, “rc”: 0, “results”: } Anyone have an idea how to fix this?? ---

Hi, I ended UP abandoning this because as far as I could see the rpm from file is only supported with state exists. you can’t upgrade with it. I remember I saw the feature request in Ansible forum somewhere but I can’t find where. ---

Hmm, that’s too bad. So you’re just using the command module to do it manually? It seems strange that it doesn’t even say “package is already present.” When I use the zypper module on SLES on the same RPM file, it at least gives me that feedback in the results.
