You can use package facts.
- name: Gather the rpm package_facts
package_facts:
manager: auto
- name: do something if package not installed
debug:
msg: 'hey package is not installed'
when: "''MyPackage'' not in ansible_facts.packages"
- name: do something if package is installed
debug:
msg: 'Hey package is installed'
when: "''MyPackage'' in ansible_facts.packages"

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [ansible-project] creating a csv for a package existing or
not existing on remotes
I want to check whether a certain package is installed on a coupld of servers
and create a csv-file from it
sub1-rd1533.agrar.portal.local, python3-psycopg2 is missing
sub1-rd5194.prod.eakte.rz-abc.local, python3-psycopg2 exists
vm-414001-0251.step.zrz.abc.local, python3-psycopg2 exists
I though of using 'rpm -q <package_name>' and based on it's return code 0 or 1
print the corresponding message into my csv.
However the rpm -q <package_name> tasks simply fails on targets who do not have
the package installed rather then registering the rc 1 and making it avaiable
further down the playbook.
So I guess I am following the wrong approach. Can anybody kindly push be into
the right direction?
==== THE Playbook =================================================
- name: check wheter packages exist
hosts: "{{ targets | default ('postgres') }}"
vars:
package_names:
- python3-psycopg2
tasks:
- name: "Check if listed package is installed or not"
command: rpm -q "{{ item }}"
loop: "{{ package_names }}"
register: package_check
- name: "Print success"
debug:
msg: "{{ package_names }} is installed"
when: package_check is succeeded
- name: "Print failure"
debug:
msg: "{{ package_names }} is not installed"
when: package_check is failed
