[pkg-go] Bug#1125400: podman: fails to generate dependency graph with podman-compose

[Léo Gourdin]

Package: podman
Version: 5.4.2+ds1-2+b2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: leo.gourdin at lilo.org

Hi,

On debian 13, there is a known podman bug (see 
https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/issues/921) that makes 
podman-compose fails non-deterministically to start a system with 
multiple dependencies.

This bug happens with both the podman-compose version shipped with 
debian and with the latest version.

The bug is on podman side.

This is an important issue for users wanting to upgrade from debian 12 
(where only compose was available, no quadlets) to debian 13.

For now, the only workarounds are 1. using quadlets and 2. using the 
reference implementation (docker-compose) but this last solution is not 
desirable as it requires activating the podman socket and sending a 
potentially large context tarball to the daemon.

Would it be possible to either patch or upgrade podman on Debian 13 to 
fix this issue?

Thanks for your work and best regards,

Leo.
