it worth noting that it the PPA does not have the packages for ubuntu 19.10

I was able to force the PPA by adding a different version PPA to my sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/projectatomic/ppa/ubuntu disco main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/projectatomic/ppa/ubuntu disco main

(I am on eoan)

You probably already know, but just in case, try this:

https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=devel%3Akubic%3Alibcontainers%3Astable&package=podman

Yes, and it seems final as https://github.com/cri-o/cri-o/issues/2963#issuecomment-574478983 has been closed today and instructions in https://github.com/cri-o/cri-o/tree/release-1.16#installing-cri-o also apply to podman.

However for podman in the new repository is unusable when docker is present in the system as well.

Issue: https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4747
The podman package (1.6.4) conflict with docker package:

dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-LhE9yQ/5-podman_1.6.4~2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/docker-attach.1.gz', which is also in package docker.io 19.03.2-0ubuntu1
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

@lsm5 @jnovy Could you please take a look at #4747. I am not running docker on the same boxes as podman anymore but it looks like number of devs do.

[rhatdan]

This was a screw up in packaging. The podman-docker man pages ended up in the main podman package. I believe @jnovy is fixing this.

[matihost]

The #4747 has been fixed and podman 1.7.0 install well on Ubuntu 19.10 now. Thank You.

@medyagh you're using the OBS repos and not the ppa, yes?
