🤣 a double-race :-)

[luxifer]

Hello, has this been released in the 3.4.2?

[rhatdan]

I doubt it, most likely will not be released until Podman 4.0

[luxifer]

This bug is actually boring because when we configure the infra image in containers.conf it's not taken into account :/

[rhatdan]

You could always attempt to setup a mirror for the image.
