  • Bug in ansible playbook

Details: If there are multiple matches in /usr/lib/jvm then ansible fails to create the appropriate symbolic link e.g.

root@test-marist-ubuntu1804-s390x-3:/usr/lib/jvm# ls -ld /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11*
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Aug 16 07:53 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.16.1+1
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jul 19 20:30 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.16+8
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jul 15  2020 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.8+10

Results in fatal: [test-marist-ubuntu1804-s390x-3]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "src file does not exist, use \"force=yes\" if you really want to create the link: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.16.1+1\n/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.16+8\n/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.8+10", "path": "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11", "src": "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.16.1+1\n/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.16+8\n/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.8+10"}
