"Error reading package header" when using the Ansible yum install module - yaml

Question

I have an ansible script that looks like this, and it was working properly yesterday -
- name: Dockerfile
hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Install repositories packages
yum:
name: "{{ item }}"
state: present
with_items:
- https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
- http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.7/3.7.10/CentOS/glusterfs-epel.repo
However this morning when I ran it, I got the following error -
failed: [localhost] (item=[u'https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm', u'http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.7/3.7.10/CentOS/glusterfs-epel.repo']) => {"failed": true, "invocation": {"module_name": "yum"}, "item": ["https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm", "http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.7/3.7.10/CentOS/glusterfs-epel.repo"], "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n File \"/tmp/ansible_mdVzzz/ansible_module_yum.py\", line 1064, in <module>\n main()\n File \"/tmp/ansible_mdVzzz/ansible_module_yum.py\", line 1053, in main\n disablerepo, disable_gpg_check, exclude, repoquery)\n File \"/tmp/ansible_mdVzzz/ansible_module_yum.py\", line 969, in ensure\n res = install(module, pkgs, repoq, yum_basecmd, conf_file, en_repos, dis_repos)\n File \"/tmp/ansible_mdVzzz/ansible_module_yum.py\", line 595, in install\n pkg_name = local_name(module, package)\n File \"/tmp/ansible_mdVzzz/ansible_module_yum.py\", line 492, in local_name\n header = ts.hdrFromFdno(fd)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/transaction.py\", line 160, in hdrFromFdno\n raise rpm.error(\"error reading package header\")\n_rpm.error: error reading package header\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "parsed": false}
The actual error description is
raise rpm.error(\"error reading package header\")\n_rpm.error: error reading package header\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "parsed": false}
Did I break something? Or is this more of an issue with the gluster RPM?

Did you try this one:
- name: Install repositories packages
yum:
name: "{{ item }}"
state: present
with_items:
- https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
- name: Install the gluster repo
get_url:
url: "http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.7/3.7.10/CentOS/glusterfs-epel.repo"
dest: "/etc/yum.repos.d/glusterfs-epel.repo"
mode: 0644
