           Requires: atomic-registries >= 1.22.1-3
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Resolution

Root Cause

  • Package podman is shipped in the repo rhel-7-workstation-extras-rpms
  • The dependencies for Podman are absent in this repo due to which installation of podman fails.
