Re: [ansible-project] Listing installed packages

['Jean-Yves LENHOF' via Ansible Project]

Le 2021-10-14 19:21, lift...@gmail.com a écrit :

I know I can use the package_facts module to retrieve a list of
installed packages, but I'm having trouble formatting these.  I'd like
to format it similar to the following:

Package:   Version: 

Currently I'm doing the following (I'm showing only httpd but
ultimately I'd like to list out ALL installed packages:

---
- hosts: localhost
  become: true
  become_method: sudo
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

  - name: Get installed packages
package_facts:
register: packages

  - name: Debug output

debug:
  msg: "{{ packages.ansible_facts.packages['httpd'] }}"

The debug print is giving me the following:

TASK [Debug output]
**
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
{
"arch": "x86_64",
"epoch": null,
"name": "httpd",
"release": "97.el7_9",
"source": "rpm",
"version": "2.4.6"
}
]
}

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Harry


You can use templating to have it on one line...

But be careful :
- you can have more than one version of a package installed. Example: 
kernel
- you can have one x86_64 and one i686 or i386 version of a package 
installed
