Static installation broken on older versions (<1.27) due to packages adding prefix crio-

[NymanRobin]

What happened?

Was not sure if this Issue should be opened here or in https://github.com/cri-o/packaging, please correct me if this is wrong place.

So recently some packages added crio- prefix in name due to conflict with redhat packages this causes the static installation to fail on older builds. I see updated packages are released in 1.28.4 and 1.29.2, but is there any plans for back-ports to 1.27 and 1.26? Otherwise is there a possibility to extend the packaging script to support these versions?

Also the README example suggest that the static installation would work on 1.21.0 which it won't so I think some disclaimer there would be very useful and an example that is actually working.

What did you expect to happen?

cri-o to be installed

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

The example from the README can be used, but also more recent version such as v1.27.4

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cri-o/packaging/main/get | bash -s -- -t v1.27.4

Anything else we need to know?

No response

CRI-O and Kubernetes version

Not applicable fails installation for versions below v1.28

Thank you for the report @NymanRobin!

any plans for back-ports to 1.27 and 1.26

Unfortunately not :-/ 1.26 is technically EOL (together with Kubernetes), but we may find a workaround for 1.27.

Do we have anyone from @cri-o/cri-o-maintainers / @kwilczynski that may want to look into this?

[NymanRobin]

Okay thanks for letting me know! Would be nice with a fix to 1.27 and updated README example
