airgap installation always uses the wrong path

[Xaseron]

I try to use this guide https://docs.replicated.com/enterprise/installing-existing-cluster-airgapped
Something in the installation process tries to be smart and horribly fails.
pushing to registry:

kubectl kots admin-console push-images ~/kotsadm.tar.gz mycompany.de/sdc/gitpod \
  --registry-username REDACTED \
  --registry-password REDACTED

so far so good that worked.

trying to do the airgapped install:

kubectl kots install gitpod \
  --kotsadm-namespace gitpod \
  --kotsadm-registry mycompany.de/sdc \
  --registry-username REDACTED \
  --registry-password REDACTED

Cannot find image because it tries to pull mycompany.de/sdc/minio:RELEASE.2022-01-08T03-11-54Z
No i'm trying to be smart because the /gitpod is missing in the path so i try to install it that way:

kubectl kots install gitpod \
  --kotsadm-namespace gitpod \
  --kotsadm-registry mycompany.de/sdc/gitpod \
  --registry-username REDACTED \
  --registry-password REDACTED

It still fails but now i tries to pull mycompany.de/sdc/gitpod/gitpod/minio:RELEASE.2022-01-08T03-11-54Z
WTF what is wrong with the install script?

To workaround this i have to push the images again with

kubectl kots admin-console push-images ~/kotsadm.tar.gz mycompany.de/sdc/gitpod/gitpod \
  --registry-username REDACTED \
  --registry-password REDACTED

Hi @Xaseron, this looks to be a bug with the registry namespace based on the output you shared.

In the meantime, can you try working around this issue by omitting the --kotsadm-namespace flag and specifying --kotsadm-registry as mycompany.de/sdc/gitpod?

Thanks for bring this to our attention.

We're tracking this internally with SC59792.

@Xaseron, this issue was fixed in KOTS 1.86.1 (see release notes here).
