Hey Folks,

I’ve been forwarded to this maillist from the bug tracker. Here is the problem - [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/49139](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/49139)

The filter ipaddr doesn’t seem to work properly if installed in the same playbook:

**Tasks:**

**`**

**```auto
- pip:
    state: latest
    name: netaddr**

**- debug:
    msg: "{{ '192.168.10.0/24' | ipaddr('-1') }}"**

**```**

 

`
