Package: podman
Version: 4.3.1+ds1-8+deb12u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The podman-auto-update service runs on system boot. This is not
documented in the man page, hence I believe that this is not by
intention. Also running the auto update service concurrently to
container/pod startup can lead to races and doesn't seem to be very
sensible behavior.
This bug has been reported upstream:
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/25232
It was closed since this is rather a packaging issue, not an upstream
one. Also it has been pointed out that Fedora doesn't expose this
behavior. Patch attached for Debian.
* What led up to the situation?
1. Create a container/pod and generate a systemd service for it
2. Reboot the machine
3. Observe that the auto update service was started during boot using
sudo journalctl --boot --unit podman-auto-update
* What was the outcome of this action?
The auto update service does start during system boot
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The auto update service does not start during system boot
