Cannot get when to work in playbook

[Kane Kennedy]

Hi can anyone help, this is doing my nut in.  

I cannot get the correct repo to install dependent on the OS family and release, I have 7 repos and need to identify RHEL, SL and Oracle v 5, 6 (x86 or x64) and 7.  

All our servers patch from local repositories, none are allowed direct access to the outside world. 

As you can see i have tried the when statement in the two ways I have seen in the docs.  Removing the WHEN statement installs the repo file fine, as you can appreciate I dont want to be installing incorrect repo files onto production systems.

[root@xxxxx]# ansible --version

ansible 2.1.2.0

  config file = /etc/ansible/roles/xxxx/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

You are indenting when: too far, it is part of the task, not the module options.
