Package: podman
Version: 5.8.6+ds1-1
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: jak at debian.org


podman 5.8.4 is fundamentally unusable with containers-storage 1.62:

# Downgrade containers-storage (if you have newer version)
# and try to run a container, it fails, using system storage
# paths rather than user ones.
root at poetic-anemone:~# apt install ./c.deb
Note, selecting 'containers-storage' instead of './c.deb'
