CentOS - Dec 2020 - ansible dnf with stream

I wish You a Merry Christmas. Have a great time.

Aside from that, I'm having a strange problem with dnf module on
Ansible with CentOS Stream. I'm using Ansible 2.9 on RHEL 8.

TASK [Install basic packages on RedHat-like systems.]
********************************************************************
skipping: [malinka.ping.local]
skipping: [jezynka.ping.local]
skipping: [aegis.ping.local]
ok: [strategie.ping.local]
fatal: [stream.ping.local]: FAILED! => {"changed": false,
"failures":
["No package htop available."], "msg": "Failed to

changed: [python-cave.ping.local]
ok: [outpost.ping.local]
changed: [potemkin.ping.local]

The task in question is:

  - name: Install basic packages on RedHat-like systems.
    dnf:
      name:
      - bash-completion
      - htop
      - mc
      - vim
      - mtr
      - tree
      - net-tools 
      state: latest
      enablerepo: epel-modular, epel
    when: ansible_os_family == 'RedHat'

This task works on RHEL 8.3, CentOS 8.3, Fedora 33, but not in CentOS
Stream 8. I can install above packages (including htop) with no problem
by hand:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=epel-modular,epel install htop

I don't get it why a separate "dnf update" task is running fine
and this
is not.

I haven't tested, but my instinct points at the "enablerepo" line.
You've written "epel-modular, epel" with a space. YAML preserves
the
space, and passes it to dnf, and perhaps it's causing a problem. Can you
try it without the space?
