Which version of ansible?

As a standalone test case, it works for me with ansible-1.7.1.

brian@wrn-mon1:~$ cat test.yml

  tasks:

    - name: run syslog-ng version
      command: syslog-ng --version
      register: ver_out
      changed_when: false

    - name: set ver
      set_fact: ver="{{ ver_out.stdout.splitlines()[0]|regex_replace('[^\d.]+', '') }}"

    - debug: msg="answer={{ ver }}"
brian@wrn-mon1:~$ ansible-playbook test.yml

Is that a development version? I've done a "git pull" and the latest
*tagged* version is v1.9.2-1, although there is a *branch* called v2_final

But if I checkout the latest git devel branch, I get the same as you
(below).

Suggest you raise it directly on github, as there's now a nice
standalone test case. In fact, the test case reduces to just this:

~~~
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: run a command
command: date
register: ver_out
changed_when: false
~~~

Note that the bot on github will reject your ticket unless you fill it
in using their template as a starting point.

Cheers,

Brian.

I suggest you raise it directly on github. The following standalone playbook reproduces it, without any need for syslog-ng:

~~~
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:

    - name: run a command
      command: date
      register: ver_out
      changed_when: false
~~~
