Dear Maintainer,
if /etc/containers/storage.conf does not include the runRoot variable, then
running "sudo podman system reset" will delete the current working directory.
This is already fixed in upstream, I hope this can be backported and included
in Debian 12.
upstream issue: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/18349
upstream fix: https://github.com/containers/storage/pull/1510
Including this fix in Debian 12 has a really low chance of affecting other
packages, but if this fix is not included there will inevitably be more people
like me that accidentally remove their home directory.
It indeed sounds like a significant papercut. I'm seeking for further thoughts and opinions: Is this something worth backporting that late in the release cycle?
