HI I am working on a role here:
https://github.com/DevOps4Networks/ansible-linux-desktop-role Which is used in a Packer build here: https://github.com/DevOps4Networks/opendaylight-integration-packaging-devtools/tree/master/packer When I attempt to use the yum module to install the group gnome-desktop-environment I get the first result below, which reports: "No packages marked for update". Note that I have also tried "state=present" which reports that there is nothing to do (virtualbox-iso: ok: [localhost] => {"changed": false, "msg": "", "rc": 0, "results": ["@gnome-desktop-environment: Nothing to do"]}). When I change to use a shell command to invoke yum to groupinstall gnome-desktop-environment the install works, which is shown in the second result below. I am either missing a trick here, or this is just plain wrong. Any ideas anyone?
