kicbase build: E: Version '1.18.3~2' for 'cri-o' was not found

[tstromberg]

It seems that it is not currently possible to rebuild the kicbase image:

E: Version '1.18.3~2' for 'cri-o' was not found
The command '/bin/sh -c sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable:/cri-o:/1.18:/1.18.3/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable.list" &&     curl -LO https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable:/cri-o:/1.18:/1.18.3/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key &&     apt-key add - < Release.key && apt-get update &&     apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends cri-o=1.18.3~2' returned a non-zero code: 100

There is a cri-o_1.18.3~3 now

[medyagh]

it might worth removing cri-o from supported and tested runtimes from minikube, since we don't have bandwith to troubleshoot cri-o packaing problems anymore. I created issues on cri-o package, I think once cri-o can provide stable packaging we can added it back to supported runtimes.

cri-o/cri-o#4027
cri-o/cri-o#4027

The problem was that you tried to pin the package version (something that doesn't work - without a custom package repository)

apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends cri-o=1.18.3~2

Problem is "=1.18.3~2", it is the same issue as in #8766

Upstream only said to pin the package repository, to the wanted subproject - they created one for each branch and major release:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable:/cri-o:/1.18:/1.18.3/xUbuntu_20.04/

https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable

But other than that, I tend to agree with the cost of supporting podman and cri-o (in addition to docker and docker)...

It's just that it is "the new rkt", so without it we don't have any diversity and no testing of CRI and maybe not even CNI ?
