I am running a machine with Ubuntu Server 22.04. I have installed CRI-O following the install section on GitHub. It adds a repository for CRI-O with all the required dependencies. With only CRI-O installed everything works fine.
One of the dependencies is the containers-common package. Now if I try to install podman from the official repositories I get a package conflict. Podman in the official repositories installs golang-github-containers-common, which tries to install the same files as the containers-common package from the other repository.
Preferably I want to keep the container-commmon package from the CRI-O repository as it is newer. What is the best solution here? Do I have to package podman on my own? Or can I somehow mark golang-github-containers-common as a ignored dependency?
At the moment I just removed the broken dependency from /var/lib/dpkg/status as suggested here, but this seems like a hacky solution.
Edit:
To recreate the issue I removed podman and installed podman again. This is the full output of apt:
