Remove unwanted or conflicting patches from DB

[duhlig]

Conflicting one-off patches have to be removed before applying opatchauto.

• Situation:

  • DB 12.1.0.2 EE
  • PSU Jan 19
  • One Off Patch 18633374 (among others)

• Objective:

  • PSU Apr 19

• Problem:

  • conflicting patch 18633374 has to be removed before installing PSU Apr 19

• Suggested solution:

  • Copy (duplicate) task "db-opatch | Manage patches for DB"
    • new name: "db-opatch | Remove unwanted patches from DB"
    • insert just before "db-opatch | Manage opatchauto patches for DB (non-gi)"
  • when clause extended by 'item.state == "absent"'
  • (sideshow: removing 18633374 requires oracle_opatch: optionally stop processes when remove a patch ansible-oracle-modules#110

==> Is there a different solution for the problem of conflicting patches?
