The seboolean, selinux, firewalld, and firewalld_info modules depend on system bindings that are only available for the default system python interpreter. ansible-core is not packaged for the default system python interpreter on RHEL 8 and 9. When automatic interpreter discovery does not occur (e.g. when using implicit localhost [1]), ansible-core will not use the system interpreter to run ansible modules and the aforementioned modules will not work even if the bindings are installed. The RHEL ansible-core maintainers as well as the EPEL ansible and ansible-collection-* package maintainers (inc. me) have gotten multiple bug reports about this. We have been telling people to fix their setup to use the correct Python interpreter. Fortunately, ansible-core 2.11 and above have a module utility that'll respawn modules to use the correct system interpreter.
