Hi @rohitthakur2590 , @AAYUSH2091 ,

only way to pass the host parameter to junos_package module is via the provider option, but as per documentation "provider is deprecated https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/collections/junipernetworks/junos/junos_package_module.html

As per documentation - https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_junos.html, I validated using ssh_config/proxy without provider, it failed with: [ERROR]: Task failed: You must provide either 'host' or 'sock_fd' value
