Foreman » Installer

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.
