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 -- System Information: [...] Versions of packages podman depends on: ii conmon 2.1.6+ds1-1 ii crun 1.8.1-1+deb12u1 ii golang-github-containers-common 0.50.1+ds1-4 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u9 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.185-2 ii libgpgme11 1.18.0-3+b1 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-1+deb12u1 ii libsubid4 1:4.13+dfsg1-1+b1 Versions of packages podman recommends: ii buildah 1.28.2+ds1-3+b1 ii catatonit 0.1.7-1+b1 ii dbus-user-session 1.14.10-1~deb12u1 pn fuse-overlayfs <none> ii slirp4netns 1.2.0-1 ii uidmap 1:4.13+dfsg1-1+b1 Versions of packages podman suggests: ii containers-storage 1.43.0+ds1-8+b2 pn docker-compose <none> ii iptables 1.8.9-2 -- no debconf information
