[pkg-go] Bug#1037091: podman run fails because of missing ~/.config/docker/config.json

[Felix Stupp]

Package: podman
Version: 4.3.1+ds1-8+b1
Severity: important


Dear maintainer,

the current version of podman does not allow me to run any container due
to the following error message:
Error: stat /home/$USER/.config/docker/config.json: no such file or directory

I can trigger this issue with a simple: podman run debian
However, what container I try to run seems not to matter.

The current version in experimental (4.4.0+ds1-1) is also not working on
my machine.

I cannot say which version introduced this issue as I do not use podman
very often. To the best of my knowledge, the last time I used it, it
worked fine and I do not know of any changes I introduced (beside
updates) which could explain this issue.

However, it still seems at least weird to me, that podman requires (not
just reads optionally) a config file which is in Docker's config dir.

I can append further debugging information if requested.

Thanks
Felix Stupp
