Issue-2

  • Operator is stuck in installation phase and the install plan is not getting created.

  • The operator's subscription describe output shows ResolutionFailed in the Status.Conditions section with an error message - constraints not satisfiable: no operators found in channel.. for any existing affected operator/s in the namespace.

Note: The affected operator is the one which is shown in the ResolutionFailed error, NOT the one which is not getting installed.
