Removed deletion of salt param from lookup file by 'password' lookup_filter.
Old behaviour leads to constant changed status when two tasks uses same lookup,
one with 'encrypt' parameter, and other without.
For example:
tasks:
- name: Create user
user:
password: "{{ lookup('password', inventory_dir + '/creds/user/pass' ncrypt=sha512_crypt) }}"
...
# Lookup file 'creds/user/pass' now contain password with salt
- name: Create htpasswd
htpasswd:
password: "{{ lookup('password', inventory_dir + '/creds/user/pass') }}"
...
# Salt gets deleted from lookup file 'creds/user/pass'
# Next run of "Create user" task will create it again and will have 'changed' status
