Nothing.. But Ansible is doing what you tell it, probably not what you
want.. The documentation is pretty clear, but perhaps not emphatic enough.
If you look at the expansion of what you are running you are basically
running this...
- lineinfile: dest=/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
insertbefore='^#additional packages that may be useful'
line='exclude=postgresql*' state=present
- lineinfile: dest=/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
insertbefore='^#released updates' line='exclude=postgresql*' state=present
So the first item looks at the file, finds that exclude=postgresql* doesn't
exist and so adds it before #additional packages that may be useful. Then
it gets to the next line and it finds the line in the file so it doesn't
change it.
To get two entries in the file you will have to edit your task. You may be
able to change your insertbefore to regexp and then change your line to
something like line='exclude=postgresql*\n{{ item }}' I haven't tried this
but it MIGHT work.
I hope that this helps,
Adam
