CentOS Stream - Cannot (re)install podman

Post by johmut » 2020/04/22 09:14:33

Hi,

Latest 'sudo dnf update' failed with "No available modular metadata for modular package 'criu-3.12-9.module_e18.1.0*294*988788c8.x86_64', it cannot be installed.

I waited a week or so, thinking it would be fixed in the repo's. Still failing with the same error message. I removed criu, which removed also podman and buildah and a bunch of dependencies. Now I cannot (re)install podman and buildah because of a dependency on criu, still failing to install.

I have obviously already done : sudo dnf clean all & sudo rm -r /var/cache/dnf, followed by sudo dnf update & sudo dnf upgrade. No success, criu still fails to install.

I am running CentOS Steam 8.1.1911 (Core).

Help anyone ?

TIA,
johmut

Odd since criu is not a module in el8. What does dnf list criu show?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Over the past few weeks I've been seeing similar problems with other packages as well.

Well, well, well. Something must have moved allright ...
Today podman and buildah installed nicely, together with the new criu package.
Closing this thread now. Thanks big brother or little sister for fixing whatever needed to be fixed.
