This is where I get stuck:

siretart at x1:~$ newuidmap
-bash: newuidmap: command not found
siretart at x1:~$ podman run --rm -it debian
root at 7fb45cf973ac:/# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
root at 7fb45cf973ac:/# exit
siretart at x1:~$ sudo podman run --rm -it debian
root at 834154bb33dd:/# exit


in short: I can't reproduce it at all. Can you please help me with a better
test-case?
