Works in podman 2.0/

Was an upstream patch added recently to fix this?  This still doesn't appear to work with podman 2.0.2

Dan any thoughts on Derrick's question in this comment: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1853455#c2?

Matt, this is still broken as far as I can see.

It looks like the code expects InfraCommand and InfraImage are to be treated as global options, but the CLI treats them as Pod Options.

I would have thought they were Pod Options, and was trying to get it to work, but this really needs you to look at it, to figure out 
is intended.

It looks like we also have a related issue upstream - https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/6969

I think we may have broken infra command and image as part of the 2.0 migration - will take a look.

Yes I agree, we definitely broke it, I am not sure how to fix it.

Looks like the issue related to this has moved https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/7167

Fixed in https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/7621

Assigning to Jindrich for packaging needs once the PR noted in the prior comment is merged.

Setting this back to Assigned based on test status and follow up investigation.

Yes this will be fixed in rhel8.4.

Fixed in podman 3.0
