=============================

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Referring to the following document, as per the prerequisites, "podman" should ** be installed on the server.

https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_satellite/6.17/html-single/installing_satellite_server_in_a_connected_network_environment/index#installing-advisor-engine-on-a-connected-satellite-server
{}{}

2. Tried to install the container tools as per the instructions in the following document:

https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/building_running_and_managing_containers/assembly_starting-with-containers_building-running-and-managing-containers#proc_getting-container-tools_assembly_starting-with-containers

3. After running the command "satellite-maintain packages install container-tools" it lists packages and dependencies to install, which were completed without any error. However, the satellite-installer runs into the error shared above.

How Reproducible:
100%

Expectations:

• The installer should complete without any errors.
