podman load compressed tar file failed with container-tools:4.0. After use gzip to zip the tar file, podman load will failed to load the file again. Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen: podman-2:4.0.2-20.module+el8.8.0+18201+6ad7332c.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to reproduce pull an image and save it to a tar file podman pull quay.io/libpod/busybox podman save -o busybox.tar quay.io/libpod/busybox Copying blob d2421964bad1 done Copying config f0b02e9d09 done Writing manifest to image destination Storing signatures Remove the image with podman rmi podman rmi quay.io/libpod/busybox Untagged: quay.io/libpod/busybox:latest Deleted: f0b02e9d092d905d0d87a8455a1ae3e9bb47b4aa3dc125125ca5cd10d6441c9f Use gzip to compress the tar file gzip busybox.tar Load the compressed with podman load podman load -i busybox.tar.gz Error: payload does not match any of the supported image formats: oci: initializing source oci:busybox.tar.gz:: open busybox.tar.gz/index.json: not a directory oci-archive: loading index: open /var/tmp/oci1593842613/index.json: no such file or directory docker-archive: loading tar component manifest.json: archive/tar: invalid tar header dir: open busybox.tar.gz/manifest.json: not a directory Expected results The file can be load. Actual results podman load can not handle the .gz file correctly. Additional info: This works in RHEL 8.7 as it will not be triggered if the build system use a 1.18 golang. The golang version updated to 1.19 since RHEL 8.8 so the bug exposed. There is an upstream issue for it: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/15944 And it is fixed in the rhel8 stream.
