lineinfile changes symbolic link to file

[jepper]

I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug. I'm using ansible to update tnsnames.ora - pre-run we have

lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba   17 Sep 24  2012 tnsnames.ora -> /etc/tnsnames.ora

I then run something like

  lineinfile: dest=/apps/ora/product/11.2.3.4/network/admin/tnsnames.ora regexp="{{ environment_name }}" line="{{ environment_name }}=(DESCRIPTION-oracle-etc-blah)"

The link is gone, and there is a file instead:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle dba  356 Jul 10 14:28 tnsnames.ora

Seems like it should follow links.

Can you please file a bug for this?

Thanks!
