Rebuilding conmon source RPM with packages below installed fixed the issue.

systemd-libs
systemd-devel

I believe it was the same issue with packaging as the one I have seen for ubuntu while ago.

[mheon]

@alitvak69 Where are these packages sourced from? I'm pretty sure the official repos aren't shipping those versions yet

[alitvak69]

https://podman.io/getting-started/installation

[alitvak69]

The repo for centos listed there and managed by @lsm5

@alitvak69 so you only added these two as build-deps and no other change in the build process, yes? I can fix that for centos.

@mheon @haircommander fedora would need this too, yes?

[mheon]

Yep, if not already done, we should depend on those in Fedora as well

[alitvak69]

@lsm5 I didn't changed specs I just made sure those packages were there :-). But yes it totally makes sense to add those as dependencies.

[alitvak69]

Any news about this. I have not seen any updates on kubik.

[TomSweeneyRedHat]

@mheon @haircommander PTAL

[lsm5]

i did make the changes on fedora, I think i need to change the centos branch too, let me check..

[lsm5]

@alitvak69 sorry the webhook integration for autobuilds was a little messed up, it's building now using this spec file: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable/conmon/_service:obs_scm:conmon.spec?expand=1

[lsm5]

@alitvak69 built, should land soon https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable/conmon/CentOS_7/x86_64

A friendly reminder that this issue had no activity for 30 days.

[rhatdan]

I take it the build has dropped so closing.
