As far as I understand, it should as it’s embedded inside the actual image file and not mounted.

I’m having other strange behaviour on non-1000 uid accounts. For example, running docker.io/library/httpd using the podman examples page on an account that isn’t userid 1000 will create an issue where it complains that libgcc_0 isn’t installed. This works flawlessly on the uid 1000 user.

It does make me think that something needs to be configured for non-uid 1000 users on podman. This is not replicable on arch linux on my raspberry pi, fwiw.
