@sgott @dholler on what side do we need to address this? Kedar, how can we prevent this in future? Michal, is this BZ accurate? We were tracking that RHEL-AV was going away in RHEL-9. Is it true that 8.6 was shipped but is no longer maintained? Or is the problem that OSBS hasn't gotten refreshed snapshots?

We will add new testcases, to capture the virt packages on the virt-launcher images, to track this. podman run --rm -it --entrypoint=/usr/bin/rpm registry-proxy.engineering.redhat.com/rh-osbs/container-native-virtualization-virt-launcher:v4.12.3-12 -qa | grep qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-core-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+18167+43cf40f3.8.x86_64 qemu-kvm-common-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+18167+43cf40f3.8.x86_64 I can reproduce this with CNV-v4.12.3-49 verify with build: CNV-v4.12.3-62 step: 1. deploy cnv 2. create and start vm 3. login virt-launcher and check qemu version sh-4.4$ rpm -qa | grep qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-core-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+18167+43cf40f3.8.x86_64 qemu-kvm-common-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+18167+43cf40f3.8.x86_64 sh-4.4$ dnf module list | grep virt virt rhel [e] common Virtualization module sh-4.4$ dnf list --showduplicates qemu-kvm-core | grep el8.6 qemu-kvm-core.x86_64 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+18167+43cf40f3.8 @odcs-1991437 sh-4.4$ rpm -qa |grep libvirt libvirt-daemon-8.0.0-5.9.module+el8.6.0+18552+b96c5a91.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-8.0.0-5.9.module+el8.6.0+18552+b96c5a91.x86_64 move to verified.

Description of problem: So, CNV 4.12.2 is shipping this old qemu-kvm in virt-launcher: qemu-kvm-core-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+14712+f96656d3.x86_64 Which is the same it shipped in 4.12.1 and 4.12.0 images! Its an old version.... Doing some research, that RPM is the latest from repo advanced-virt-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms. But that repo should not be used in 8.6+ anymore, virt:av has been retired and its stuck on that old version above. Looking at the dockerfile for virt-launcher[1], it enables virt:av. ~~~ dnf module enable -y \ virt:av \ ~~~ Problem is, virt:av has been discontinued, its not getting more updates since 8.6.0. The above is correct for up to RHEL 8.5, but in 8.6 that is not getting updates anymore. I think this pod should be using virt:rhel (normal stream) Look at all the newer versions available, not being picked up by CNV. Customers are missing Z-Stream improvements. # dnf list --available --showduplicates qemu-kvm-core | grep "el8.6" qemu-kvm-core.x86_64 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+14707+5aa4b42d rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms qemu-kvm-core.x86_64 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+15668+464a1f31.2 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms qemu-kvm-core.x86_64 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16516+f8cbd5fe.5 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms qemu-kvm-core.x86_64 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16538+01ea313d.6 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms qemu-kvm-core.x86_64 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+17576+33ee06a8.7 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms qemu-kvm-core.x86_64 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+18167+43cf40f3.8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms Same is valid for other virtualization packages (i.e. libvirt), everything is old, dating to aprox 8.6.0 GA.
