Hello, I want to use the deb822\_repository module in one of my tasks. It is failing with: ERROR! couldn’t resolve module/action ‘ansible.builtin.deb822\_repository’. I run this on Debian Bookworm and ansible 2.14.3 ist the current version there. After some digging, as I understand it, the deb822\_repository is only part of ansible-core 2.15 and later. It was part part of the collection community.general before but not anymore (since it is part of core now). How do I get this module to work with my 2.14.3 version? Thank you! ---

Correct. > It was part part of the collection community.general before but not anymore (since it is part of core now). Note that `deb822_repository` from the ansible-core distribution (version 2.15+) was written from scratch and if you were using any other `deb822_repository` module it is very likely they aren’t compatible. > How do I get this module to work with my 2.14.3 version? You can download the module from [ansible/lib/ansible/modules/deb822\_repository.py at devel · ansible/ansible · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/modules/deb822_repository.py) and use the standard mechanism to add custom modules to your Ansible installation, see [Adding modules and plugins locally — Ansible Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_locally.html#adding-a-module-or-plugin-outside-of-a-collection). However note that there is no guarantee that the module will work on 2.14 and such scenario is not supported by any means. I would recommend, if possible, updating to 2.15+ via other means - search the ansible documentation for “Installing Ansible” - I was going to put a link here but got an error saying that new users can only put two links within their reply ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯. ---
