My thinking was more along the lines of "If I'm going to run this as

kinda equivalent to the docker group when using docker. (But I am a

If you want some comparisons, on Fedora podman rootless just works (I
don't actually know want dependencies they install, because I use it
to run one-off containers on my laptop -- the servers run docker)
The errors were not that cryptic by themselves but required some
googling to understand what binaries were missing and what packages
provided them. I think adding some instructions on the wiki
(https://wiki.debian.org/Podman) should be enough if dependencies are
to be minimal.
Indeed. When I ran into this in #983395, I was told here I’m supposed to
use sudo (or install Recommends, which IIRC are disabled in Docker
images), while the upstream told me I should use rootless mode.
Eventually I managed to get a change merged to improve the error
message, but I still find this a bit suboptimal. Just installing the
package should make the most desired mode work without fiddling with it,
and the upstream states that mode is rootless mode, hence uidmap and its
friend should be in Depends, not Recommends.
