I wish You a Merry Christmas. Have a great time.

Aside from that, I’m having a strange problem with dnf module on Ansible with CentOS Stream. I’m using Ansible 2.9 on RHEL 8.

TASK [Install basic packages on RedHat-like systems.]
********************************************************************
skipping: [malinka.ping.local]
skipping: [jezynka.ping.local]
skipping: [aegis.ping.local]
ok: [strategie.ping.local]
fatal: [stream.ping.local]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failures”:
[“No package htop available.”], “msg”: “Failed to install some of the specified packages”, “rc”: 1, “results”: []}
changed: [python-cave.ping.local]
ok: [outpost.ping.local]
changed: [potemkin.ping.local]
changed: [rawhide.ping.local]

The task in question is:

– name: Install basic packages on RedHat-like systems.
dnf:
name:
– bash-completion
– htop
– mc
– vim
– mtr
– tree
– net-tools
state: latest
enablerepo: epel-modular, epel
when: ansible_os_family == ‘RedHat’

This task works on RHEL 8.3, CentOS 8.3, Fedora 33, but not in CentOS
Stream 8. I can install above packages (including htop) with no problem by hand:

sudo dnf –enablerepo=epel-modular,epel install htop Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8

I don’t get it why a separate “dnf update” task is running fine and this is not.
