I run Ubuntu 24.04 on my laptop and servers. The Podman version is 4.9.3.

It may be incompressible to you, but I'm not alone in thinking it's a problem:

And that issue shows the problem with OSS.

Nothing is ever good enough.

This is why OSS maintainers have burn out. Always wanting more and more. Not even the source code is good enough.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I'm on the team that helped bring podman into the CNCF and I worked on ubuntu for over a decade, this isn't a technical problem this is a business one.

Podman is in universe, so Canonical doesn't care unless you pay. Fair enough, good engineers cost money.

Podman engineers would love to be in Ubuntu, the Red Hat engineers would love to directly upload into Universe. End users have been asking for this for years.

The engineers don't make the decisions. Canonical doesn't want to pay, Red Hat doesn't want to pay.

I'm confused, the latest LTS version of Ubuntu is 26.04 (released on 2026/04/23) and has Podman v5.7.0 (released on 2025/11/11). [1]

If they're on a 24.04 LTS release is there any reason they would be on a newer version of Podman (without jumping through hoops)? Ubuntu 24.04LTS released on 2024/04/25 and the Debian Import Freeze was on 2024/02/29.

The bleeding edge Podman release at that time was a pre-release v5.0.0-RC3 (2024/02/22) and the latest actual release was v4.9.3 (2024/02/13). That's the version Ubuntu 24.04LTS has. [2][3][4]

So aren't they on the exact version of Podman they're supposed to be on for the operating system version they're running?
