Using dnf/yum Modular Filtering with pkg.installed

[Gregor Rothner]

Hi there.

Is there any way of installing packages with pkg.installed which are filtered out by dnf modular filtering? Like installing a normal package and don't have to worry about any modules.

So far I found 2 ways which aren't working perfectly for me.

1.  Enable module with cmd.run before pkg.install 
   • Works but isn't very maintenance friendly
     
2. Prefix package name with @ and put single quotation marks around it
   • install_mysql_pkg:
       pkg.installed:
         - name: '@nginx:1.20/common'
   • Although by running this state all the needed packages are installed, the state result is false because it cannot find the Package: '@nginx:1.20/common'

So far im not a very huge fan of all that filtering stuff.

Do you have any tips on how to solve this more easily?

Thanks

Greg
