Description

Script foreman-installer fails when launched on CentOS 8 Stream.
Error is:

ERROR ] [configure] Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, No preferred version defined or automatically detected. (file: /usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/postgresql/manifests/globals.pp, line: 231, column: 5) on node XXXX

A look at the script help find the problem: the script can't determine the kind of Linux used and therefore can't set an appropriate postgresql version to install.

Workaround: temporarily replacing the following files with CentOS 8 versions allows successful installation.
  • system-release
  • redhat-release
  • os-release

It leaves hope for a not too painful adaptation to CentOS 8 Stream.

Please don't react on this bug anymore. It's a duplicate of #31527. https://community.theforeman.org/t/running-foreman-on-centos-8-stream-support/21948 is also a place better suited for discussion than a bug tracker.
