modules apt: only_upgrade fail

[richar...@gmail.com]

Hello,

Having either apt: only_upgrade=docker-engine in my playbook or running it on the command line as ansible all --sudo -m apt -a 'only_upgrade=docker-engine' fails with

```

xx.xxx.xx.xxx | FAILED! => {

    "changed": false, 

    "failed": true, 

    "msg": "Boolean docker-engine not in either boolean list"

}

```

In the document

only_upgrade(added in 2.1)

Only install/upgrade a package if it is already installed.

my local ansible version is

```

ansible 2.1.0.0

  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = ['/usr/share/ansible']

```

my host docker version is 1.11.0,I just want to only upgrade this package docker-engine to 1.11.2

my playbook is here

```

---

- hosts: xxxx

  sudo: yes

  vars: 

     apt_packages: 

      - apt-transport-https

      - ca-certificates

  tasks:

   - name: add CA certificates are installed.

     apt: 

         name: "{{ item }}"

         update_cache: yes

     with_items: apt_packages

         id: 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D

   - name: modify /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list 

     replace:     

         dest: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

         regexp: '^deb http'

         replace: "deb https"

   - name: upgrade docker-engine

     apt:

The documentation also say the default value is false, so this option
can only be true or false.

This should be

- name: upgrade docker-engine
apt:

name: docker-engine
only_upgrade: true

I also think you need to add state: latest to have it upgrade the package.

I just think this way is reinstall docker-engie to latest when you ues name and state=lastest 

it's different to upgrade this procedure

Thanks for you suggestion but I just get this when use you way

```

   - name: upgrade docker-engine

     apt:

         name: docker-engine

         only_upgrade: docker-engine

#         state: latest

```

```

TASK [upgrade docker-engine] ***************************************************

ok: [xx.xx.xx.xx]

```

and if I add state:latest, I just think only_upgrade is not work , because I also can install the latest version without only_upgrade

I'm not sure I understand you, my test of only_upgrade

$ dpkg -l htop
dpkg-query: no packages found matching htop

I run this task:
- name: upgrade if exist
apt:
name=htop
state=latest
only_upgrade=true

The output:
TASK [upgrade if exist]
********************************************************
changed: [localhost]

stdout: Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Skipping htop, it is not installed and only upgrades are requested.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

As you see, nothing was installed and this confirms it

$ dpkg -l htop
dpkg-query: no packages found matching htop

So the only_upgrade is working in Ansible 2.1.0.
The apt module is using the apt-get command and only_upgrade=true adds
--only-upgrade as an option to apt-get.

No, I use a callback plugin that give a more human readable output.
The one I use is this one
