HelmRelease Not Ready

[ruiengana]

I am trying to install Istio using Helm and Flux2.
I added a GitRepository and created two HelmReleases for Istio Base and Discovery charts respectively.

istiod pod is up and running, but don't understand why HelmReleases CRs are not showing up as Ready...

$ kubectl get helmrelease -A
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS AGE
istio-system istio-base False HelmChart 'flux-system/istio-system-istio-base' is not ready 23m
istio-system istio-discovery False HelmChart 'flux-system/istio-system-istio-discovery' is not ready 23m

$ kubectl get helmcharts -A
NAMESPACE NAME CHART VERSION SOURCE KIND SOURCE NAME READY STATUS AGE
flux-system istio-system-istio-base ./manifests/charts/base * GitRepository istio True Fetched and packaged revision: 1.1.0 23m
flux-system istio-system-istio-discovery ./manifests/charts/istio-control/istio-discovery * GitRepository istio True Fetched and packaged revision: 1.2.0 23m
