So I am seeing something rather strange when using Ansible 2.0.2.0…If I execute a play with the following tasks the second one is skipped. However if I run the same play using Ansible 2.0.1.0 it runs as expected. Anyone else experienced anything similar? Thoughts?

> - name: installing epel repo (RedHat)  
> yum:  
> name: “epel-release”  
> state: present  
> when: \>  
> ansible\_os\_family == “RedHat” and  
> ansible\_distribution != “Fedora”
> - name: installing ansible pre-reqs (RedHat)  
> yum:  
> name: “{{ item }}”  
> state: present  
> with\_items:
> - libffi-devel
> - openssl-devel
> - python-crypto
> - python-devel
> - python-setuptools  
> when: \>  
> ansible\_os\_family == “RedHat” and  
> ansible\_distribution != “Fedora”

When using Ansible 2.0.2.0

> TASK [installing epel repo (RedHat)] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> ok: [node0]
> 
> TASK [installing ansible pre-reqs (RedHat)] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> skipping: [node0] =\> (item=[u’libffi-devel’, u’openssl-devel’, u’python-crypto’, u’python-devel’, u’python-setuptools’])

When using Ansible 2.0.1.0

> TASK [installing epel repo (RedHat)] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
> ok: [node0]  
> TASK [installing ansible pre-reqs (RedHat)] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
> ok: [node0] =\> (item=[u’libffi-devel’, u’openssl-devel’, u’python-crypto’, u’python-devel’, u’python-setuptools’])

Thanks!
