@paleozogt This looks like network flake to me, it is reproduceable ?

[paleozogt]

Yes, its reproducible. Something is broken with the fedora 36 mirrors, or with the configuration of the mirrors in this image.

THis is not something buildah or podman deal with, so not an issue, moved to discussion.
