Details

Description:

The following error message appears when attempting to run podman machine start on a fresh install.

Error: unable to start host networking: "could not find "gvproxy" in one of [/usr/local/libexec/podman /usr/local/lib/podman /usr/libexec/podman /usr/lib/podman]. To resolve this error, set the helper_binaries_dir key in the [engine] section of containers.conf to the directory containing your helper binaries."

This is due to the binary gvproxy being missing from /usr/lib/podman. Other helper binaries are there, but not gvproxy.

This resembles a similar issue that occurred on the brew repository: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/12161

Additional info:

  • package version: 4.6.0-1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install podman fresh.
  2. Run podman machine init
  3. Run podman machine start
