I think this was introduced in version 3.11.2 as per the changelog
mention

	https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#3112-2023-04-27

However, I had already uploaded 3.11.4 to unstable before I saw this bug
report, sorry about that. I'll mention this in the bookworm-fasttrack upload in that case.

I wanted to upload this to bookworm before next week. To my surprise,
there are actually users consuming this package from there, so I just
wanted to make it a little quick :)

There are _currently_ no summer vacation times in the part of the world I live in.
It was infact, raining quite heavily since past few days, so I didn't
realise the vac stuff for you :-)

Best,
Nilesh
