Unable to install the latest podman on Ubuntu 22.04 by following the instruction on the website

[klesh]

Issue Description

I followed this guide https://podman.io/docs/installation#ubuntu and try to install the latest podman on my WSL2 (ubuntu 22.04).
And it failed, looks like some of the package is broken, specifically the conmon seems broken.
I tried downloading the package from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/unstable/xUbuntu_22.04/amd64/conmon_2:2.1.10-0ubuntu22.04+obs18.4_amd64.deb and installed it manually and this is what i got:

[klesh@klesh-laptop] ~/Downloads> sudo dpkg -i 'conmon_2 2.1.10-0ubuntu22.04+obs18.4_amd64.deb'
[sudo] password for klesh:

Hi, what do you mean by "it failed, looks like some of the package is broken"?

The instruction docs "how to install on ubuntu" is apparently broken (at least on my side it did not work).

However, I used kubic page to get the correct commands to add the apt repository and install podman (to get it, go here and click "Download package" and select your system version. kubic repo contains podman version which is not the latest, although the build should be fixed soon)

Please type the following:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/unstable/xUbuntu_22.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable/xUbuntu_22.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/devel_kubic_libcontainers_unstable.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install podman

I tested on clean ubuntu 22.04 on wsl2, I was able to isntall podman 4.6.2 (latest succeed build for now), and run example container.

Alternatively, if conmon is somehow broken, you can remove it using apt, and download and copy binary to /usr/local/bin from https://github.com/containers/conmon/releases/

@lstolcman The conmon package was broken, I downloaded it from the repo manually and it can not be recognized as a valid deb package by dpkg.

Anyway, I tried it again yesterday, and it worked again. Closing the issue now.
