epel-release-8-19.el8.noarch.rpm is hardcoded and does not exist anymore

Expected results

• required rpms to be installed

Seems it got 'fixed' 2 day's ago

is there a way to make this less 'static'? Otherwise one would require to pull the latest changes each time to make sure image creation might work.... which may cause former dependency & manual change issues... then I'll have to fork the repo...#morework

Dear @xdkreij thanks for bringing the issue to our attention.

You are indeed right about it being too 'static', this is a fix we are currently working on and it will probably be there in the next release

It gets even stranger

Once the playbook is running... the first repo task finishes no problemo

But getting further down the line it tries to do the same... again...(yes i know, this time for the image... but the task is 100% the same..nonetheless; The fact that it breaks makes it everything but idempotent)
