Are you running this playbook against localhost or a remote host? (In reply to Maxwell G from comment #1) > Are you running this playbook against localhost or a remote host? The playbook is running against localhost. You should set `ansible_python_interpreter` to `/usr/bin/python3.6` or `/usr/libexec/platform-python` for localhost in your Ansible inventory. This way, the controller will still run on python3.8, but the actual modules will run on python3.6. It looks like Tomas Orsava recommended the same thing in the Bugzilla you linked. This will bypass the need to package the selinux module for python3.8. We will still need to package python modules for python3.8 that are needed for ansible plugins that run on the controller (e.g. callback plugins, filter plugins, connection plugins). Thank you for the bug report. Please let us know if this fixes your issue. Hello, Thank you that has solved the problem. Great! I've closed this. |
Description of problem: Due to the recent update to Ansible 5.4.0-2.el8, it now uses python3.8. However, this causes an issue when using the ansible collection "ansible.posix.selinux" for a task. The task will fail as it requires python-libselinux. However, the only package available for python-libselinux is in python3.6, which means that the task using Ansibles built-in collection for selinux will fail as it requires packages in python3.8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.4.0-2.el8 How reproducible: 100% there's no python38-libselinux package available. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Ansible 2. Run example task ``` - name: Put SELinux in permissive mode, logging actions that would be blocked. ansible. posix.selinux: policy: targeted state: permissive ``` Actual results: Error message with: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selinux'" "Failed to import the required Python library (libselinux-python)." Expected results: No error, libselinux to be found and changes required made. Additional info:
