Authconfig not found

There are several tasks which shall disable fingerprinting:

roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_docs.yml:- name:                  Disable fingerprinting
roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_docs.yml-  command:               authconfig --disablefingerprint --update
roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_docs.yml-  when:
roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_docs.yml-    - not docs_migrations_already_done.stat.exists

roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_wizards.yml:- name:                  Disable fingerprinting
roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_wizards.yml-  command:               authconfig --disablefingerprint --update
roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_wizards.yml-  when:
roles/hcl/connections-wizards/tasks/setup_connections_wizards.yml-    - not migrations_already_done.stat.exists

This ends with:

TASK [connections-wizards : Disable fingerprinting] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [cnx7-rh8-db2.stoeps.home]: FAILED! => changed=false 
  cmd: authconfig --disablefingerprint --update
  msg: '[Errno 2] No such file or directory: b''authconfig'': b''authconfig'''
  rc: 2
  stderr: ''

  stdout: ''

On minimal installation the package authselect-compat is not installed. So if you want to use the command you should check that it is installed first.

I'm really curious why these tasks are included, as fingerprinting is only available when a fingerprint hardware is found. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/system-level_authentication_guide/fingerprints

So remove, add a conditional or check for the command first please.
