Hello,

I tried to reproduce this on a freshly installed OpenBSD 7.5 (amd64) but am not able to, maybe there is something else going on at your machine?

This is what i have:

$ cat inventory.ini
[all:vars]
ansible_user=root
[openbsd]
192.168.10.109

... and:

$ cat playbook.yaml
- hosts: openbsd
  post_tasks:
    - name: openbsd_pkg
      community.general.openbsd_pkg: name=nmap state=latest
      tags: [ 'packages' ]

First attempt, the package is installed:

 ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yaml

Second attempt, no change:

For what it's worth, I have the same problem (but for git). I'm running Ansible [core 2.15.4] on an OpenBSD 7.4 VM attempting to install git on a fresh OpenBSD 7.5 VM. Let me know if you want config / version info, etc..
