Package: podman
Version: 3.0.1+dfsg1-3+deb11u1

All `podman` commands produce a lot of warnings on default install.

$ podman version
WARN[0000] The cgroupv2 manager is set to systemd but there is no
systemd user session available
WARN[0000] For using systemd, you may need to login using an user session
WARN[0000] Alternatively, you can enable lingering with: `loginctl
enable-linger 1000` (possibly as root)
WARN[0000] Falling back to --cgroup-manager=cgroupfs

Go Version: go1.15.15

OS/Arch: linux/amd64

As mentioned in `podman` tracker this is because of missing dependency
on `dbus-user-session`

It appears installing `dbus-user-session` doesn't fix the problem with
excessive messages.

Hi Anatoli,

Sorry to hear that you had bad surprises with the podman package, but I'm happy to read in https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/12983#issuecomment-1119662438 that you managed to get the software working by rebooting. This tells me that those warnings correctly indicated a system misconfiguration or rather an runtime error and your dbus user session wasn't running.

I'm going to change the podman package to add a "Recommends" relationship so that the package gets installed by default.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Hi Reinhard.

I am afraid that when `dbus-user-session` and `podman` were not
installed, it probably still won't work without reboot. If I am not
mistaken, some things like group membership update require if not
reboot, then at least relogin. However, I can not test it, because I
abandoned the idea of using `podman` with stable Debian -
https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/14134

Nevertheless, it is nice to see that somebody took care of `podman` in
Debian. So thanks for reaching out.
