RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Joy Pu 2019-05-15 08:29:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

The new libpod.conf has a new item "events_logger". As we put it after the runtimes section, it will impact the configuration file decoding and an error will be raise for almost all podman subcommand:
Error: Could not get runtime: error decoding configuration file /usr/share/containers/libpod.conf: Type mismatch for 'libpod.RuntimeConfig.runtimes': Expected slice but found 'string'.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
podman-1.3.0-1.git139afa7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a podman command(anyone except version and --help). Here take podman info as example.
# podman info
Error: could not get runtime: error decoding configuration file /usr/share/containers/libpod.conf: Type mismatch for 'libpod.RuntimeConfig.runtimes': Expected slice but found 'string'.



Actual results:
The command failed with above error message


Expected results:
The command can finished as expect and give as the information we want.


Additional info:
Just put the events_logger before runtimes section will work around the problem.

Fixed upstream in 1.3.1 - we can rebuild from that tag once it's ready later today
