'podman machine start' can't find /usr/libexec/podman/gvproxy

Description

I found https://podman.io/blogs/2021/09/06/podman-on-macs.html, which explains how to use Podman on a Mac. The article explains how to install podman via Homebrew, but of course I wanted to use MacPorts instead.

First I ran sudo port install podman, which indeed gave me version 3.3.1, just like in the article.

Then when I ran podman machine init, I got an error message saying that a qemu binary could not be found. I am not sure if qemu should be a dependency of podman or if it makes sense to not install that by default, but I installed it by running sudo port instal qemu. Afterwards running podman machine init succeeded.

The next step is running podman machine start, but that gives me this error:

❯ podman machine start
Error: unable to start host networking: "stat /usr/libexec/podman/gvproxy: no such file or directory"

The /usr/libexec prefix struck me as problematic, since all of the podman files are under my MacPorts prefix of /opt/local, but port contents podman doesn't list a binary called gvproxy at all and I wouldn't know what to install to get it, so this is where I got stuck.

Hello, Nils

Thanks for reporting the issue. I created PR to fix this issue ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/12229. It will take some time for the PR to be accepted.

Next time, you can add a maintainer (GitHub handle) to the "Owned by" field. Thus, a maintainer receive a notification about a new ticket by email. In any case, I am always pleased to receive personal emails.

Thanks. I thought I remembered a Trac ticket would automatically be assigned to the maintainer of the port, but that didn't happen.

That has never been the case.
