Description Eric Nothen 2024-01-23 09:09:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
Running rhosp 16.2 to 17.1 pre-upgrade validation fails because of podman version, but required podman version is incorrect for rhosp 16.2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
17.1.2

How reproducible:
Always reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup undercloud as described in documentation [0]

2. Run validation as in section 2.2 step 6:

Actual results:

Validation "package-version" shows podman with version *el8.2.0" is required, which is incorrect for rhosp 16.2, based on rhel 8.4:

Expected results:

Validation should match with a version of podman that is available on the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server - TUS (v. 8.4 for x86_64)" repository with release 8.4 set. Since we allow updates from non-latest z-stream, it may not be the latest one (as of this writing podman-3.2.3-0.12.module+el8.4.0+14908+81312c48.x86_64), but it should definitely be somewhere around 3.2.3-*.el8.4.*. and not *el8.2*.

Hello,

Anything I can pass to the customer? How about the proposed workaround?
Comment 4 mathieu bultel 2024-03-28 16:11:19 UTC 
Hi Eric,

Sorry for the delay.
A hotfix will just to adjust the correct version of podman.
I'm trying to see what is the official version of podman for RHEL 8.4 and also if this version might change often.
Comment 5 mathieu bultel 2024-04-04 07:59:32 UTC 
Looks for rhel-9 we will have 4.4.1
 "On rhel9 it looks like we have version podman-4.4.1-13.el9_2"
For rhel-8, I don't have clear answer for now.
I'm going to prepare a patch for rhel-8 and 9 with the follow checks:
rhel-8: podman-3.2.x
rhel-9: podman-4.4.x
