I'm confused, the latest LTS version of Ubuntu is 26.04 (released on 2026/04/23) and has Podman v5.7.0 (released on 2025/11/11). [1]

If they're on a 24.04 LTS release is there any reason they would be on a newer version of Podman (without jumping through hoops)? Ubuntu 24.04LTS released on 2024/04/25 and the Debian Import Freeze was on 2024/02/29.

The bleeding edge Podman release at that time was a pre-release v5.0.0-RC3 (2024/02/22) and the latest actual release was v4.9.3 (2024/02/13). That's the version Ubuntu 24.04LTS has. [2][3][4]

So aren't they on the exact version of Podman they're supposed to be on for the operating system version they're running?

No thanks I'll get it from podman.

What's wrong with 5.7.0+ds2-3build1 ?

Ubuntu loves to mess with upstream by shipping a bunch of vendor patches. It's one of the main reasons I run Fedora, they do this the least in my experience

Every distro does this. That's what a distro is.
