The seboolean module has apparently disappeared from Ansible 2.10. It also doesn’t exist in community.general.
I couldn’t find any documentation saying it was deprecated.
Is there a replacement?
Example playbook:
- hosts:
- centos
tasks:
- name: "seboolean"
seboolean:
name: httpd_can_network_connect
state: yes
persistent: yes
Output:
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'seboolean'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
The error appears to be in '/home/user/ansible_test_suite/tmp.yml': line 4, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
tasks:
- name: "seboolean"

Hi,
The seboolean module has apparently disappeared from Ansible 2.10.
according to ansible-base's ansible_builtin_runtime.yml, the module
resides in ansible.posix, and there I can find it:
https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix/blob/main/plugins/modules/seboolean.py
It also doesn't exist in community.general.
Why do you think the module should be in community.general?
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'seboolean'. This often
indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
Do you have Ansible installed, and not just ansible-base with
community.general? Because if you don't have ansible.posix installed
(which comes with Ansible), the above message is not surprising.
Cheers,
Felix
Why do you think the module should be in community.general?
Because that is where I found seport. https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/plugins/modules/seport.py (Or, now that I look at that file, thought I had found seport.)

I’m testing my roles by running Ansible from source. So I have the main ansible repo checked out to stable-2.10, and I run source ansible/hacking/env-setup to start using it.
Am I missing a step? I guess I will go review the running from source docs…
Neither https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#installing-and-running-the-devel-branch-from-source nor https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html#common-environment-setup doesn’t mention anything about needing to install ansible.posix separately from Ansible. And I thought that the ansible.* collections were actually part of Ansible itself, so you would not need to install them in the first place. Am I missing something? Is that only true of packaged Ansible and not true for a git clone?
