Installing nvidia-container-runtime package on RHEL8.1 did not create nvidia-container-runtime executable

[aniket202]

I followed the following steps to install nvidia-container-runtime on RHEL 8.1

distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID)
curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-container-runtime/$distribution/nvidia-container-runtime.repo | \
  sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/nvidia-container-runtime.repo

sudo yum install nvidia-container-runtime

But after running above commands, nvidia-container-runtime executable was not installed and it was only installing following packages

(1/3): libnvidia-container-tools-1.3.3-1.x86_64.rpm
(2/3): libnvidia-container1-1.3.3-1.x86_64.rpm
(3/3): nvidia-container-toolkit-1.4.2-2.x86_64.rpm

I had to run following command as well to get the nvidia-container-runtime on my VM, after this it started working. Is this expected or am I missing something?

yum install nvidia-container-runtime.x86_64

Hi @aniket202. As of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.6.0 release the nvidia-container-runtime is included in the nvidia-container-toolkit package with the nvidia-container-runtime package (>=3.6.0) a meta package serving to provide a dependency for workflows that expect this package name.

I am resolving this issue as it is addressed in subsequent versions. Please reopen if your issue is not addressed.
