After upgrading a ClusterExtension from a deprecated bundle version (1.0.1) to a non-deprecated version (1.0.3), the deprecation-related conditions (Deprecated and BundleDeprecated) remain status: True with stale messages referencing the old deprecated version.

1. Create a ClusterExtension with a deprecated bundle:
  apiVersion: olm.operatorframework.io/v1
  kind: ClusterExtension
  metadata:
    name: extension-73289
  spec:
    namespace: ns-73289
    serviceAccount:
      name: test-73289
    progressDeadlineMinutes: 10
    source:
      sourceType: Catalog
      catalog:
        packageName: nginx73289v1
        channel: candidate-v1.0
        version: "1.0.1"  # deprecated version
        upgradeConstraintPolicy: CatalogProvided


  2. Apply the ClusterExtension:
  oc apply -f extension.yaml


  3. Verify deprecation conditions are set:
  oc get clusterextension extension-73289 -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Deprecated")]}'


  Result:
  {
    "type": "Deprecated",
    "status": "True",
    "reason": "Deprecated",
    "message": "nginx73289v1.v1.0.1 is deprecated. Uninstall and install v1.0.3 for support."
  }


  4. Upgrade to non-deprecated version:
  oc patch ClusterExtension extension-73289 -p '{"spec":{"source":{"catalog":{"version":"1.0.3"}}}}' --type=merge


  5. Verify the installed bundle is upgraded:
  oc get clusterextension extension-73289 -o jsonpath='{.status.install.bundle}'


  Result:
  {
    "name": "nginx73289v1.v1.0.3",
    "version": "1.0.3"
  }


  6. Check deprecation conditions again:
  oc get clusterextension extension-73289 -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions}' | jq '.[] | select(.type | test("Deprecated"))'

    "type": "BundleDeprecated"
  }

  After upgrading to the non-deprecated version 1.0.3, the deprecation conditions remain unchanged  

    After upgrading to a non-deprecated bundle, the deprecation conditions should be updated
