2081349 – podman defaults to old network stack on RHEL9

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 Paul Holzinger 2022-05-03 13:47:39 UTC

Description of problem:

When installing podman it will default to the old CNI network stack instead of the new netavark stack because netavark is not installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q podman containers-common
podman-4.0.2-6.el9_0.x86_64
containers-common-1-34.el9_0.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install podman

Actual results:

containernetworking-plugins is installed as dependency

Expected results:

netavark is installed as dependency


Additional info:

# dnf install podman

Comment 3 Paul Holzinger 2022-05-03 14:55:27 UTC

Can you check the same for buildah? Buildah should also use netavark by default.

Comment 4 Joy Pu 2022-05-13 08:40:38 UTC

checked with podman-4.1.0-2.el9.x86_64.rpm. The netavark already can be install by dependence. So set the Tested flag.
