Maybe "packages needed to be able to to use and configure the default
package manager". For example one might need to be able to adjust the
dnf repo config to be able to actually install pkgs, if there is a
restrictive firewall for example and only local mirrors are accessible
or a proxy has to be used.
I would say "packages needed to be able to install software and then do
basic configuration of the system" - this would be:
- $package_manager
- core modules from
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_system_modules.html
- core modules from
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_files_modules.html
