I am working on a role to install Apache Guacamole. One of the dependencies that has to be installed is libssh2-devel, but that’s not available on RHEL 8. Google is telling me that if I install the virt-devel OS module via ‘dnf module enable virt-devel’,that will allow libssh2-devel to be installed.
However, in my playbook in the role, no matter what I try, I cannot get this module to be enabled. If I do this:
- name: Enable virt-devel module
ansible.builtin.dnf:
name: ‘@virt-devel’
state: present
I get: “virt-devel Problems in request: broken groups or modules: virt-devel”.
If I change the code to use the command module:
- name: Enable virt-devel module
ansible.builtin.command: /bin/dnf enable module virt-devel
nothing happens in my playbook. It doesn’t fail or succeed on that play, it simply just hangs there. So I went to the target host and ran that command manually, then enabled debug in my playbook. When I run it again, it gets past that play with:
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
Any ideas on why this could be happening?
Thanks,
