Ansible state seems to do nothing

[Jonty Needham]

The following state, when run, requires the root password (as expected) then prints:

Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
SUDO password:

PLAYBOOK: install_stuff.yml ****************************************************
1 plays in install_stuff.yml

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************


I'm expecting it to either state that some states have passed or failed. What have I got wrong?

- hosts: hostname
  become: true
  become_user: root
  become_method: su
  tasks:
  - yum:
      name: sl
      state: latest

Add -v or -vvv to your ansible-playbook call to see more info.

And, I have seen this when the hostname I gave does not match anything
in the inventory.

Hi

One idea :

- Check your rpm database... If rpm -qa hang, you probably have to
rebuild it
