Image update automation appending instead of replacing

[freefood89]

Hello, I'm experiencing issues with image update automation where the latest tag is being appended to the image tag instead of replacing it.

version: ghcr.io/fluxcd/image-automation-controller:v0.22.1

The tag in the original manifest is gcr.io/xyz/crasample:develop-deadbeef-0, the latest tag is gcr.io/xyz/crasample:develop-deadbeef-3 and the automation result is gcr.io/xyz/crasample:develop-deadbeef-0:develop-deadbeef-3

When the manifest was gcr.io/xyz/crasample:5.0.0 the result was gcr.io/xyz/crasample:5.0.0:develop-deadbeef-3

Can you post here your ImageRepository YAML please.

[stefanprodan]

I've managed to reproduce this, the issue comes from setting a tag in the ImageRepository, starting with next version we'll error out when tags are used in .spec.image.

thank you. you were right about the tag in the ImageRepository
