I’m currently trying to run distrobox with podman. I’m getting the following error: Resolved “debian” as an alias (/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/shortnames.conf) Trying to pull docker.io/library/debian:12… Getting image source signatures Copying blob 1b13d4e1a46e done

Does anyone know what should be my next steps to resolve this issue?

    You skipped a step or two in your podman setup I think. Look up the rootless instructions, and make absolutely sure you have installed the right uid/gid packages for your distro.

      I installed podman using apt. It should come with the neccisary packages correct?
