Nixpkgs: podman package is missing conmon and runc dependencies

[x80486]

Describe the bug

I installed both: podman and buildah using nix-env --install --prebuilt-only. There were some issues because I had to create a ${HOME}/.config/containers/registries.conf and ${HOME}/.config/containers/policy.json files manually (with some defaults), but after that, I still have the issue with Error: could not get runtime: default OCI runtime "runc" not found: invalid argument — and also some other error(s) related with conmon previously (but I don't have those anymore).

To Reproduce

1. nix-env --install --prebuilt-only buildah podman
2. nano "${HOME}/.config/containers/registries.conf"

unqualified-search-registries = ["docker.io", "quay.io"]

1. nano "${HOME}/.config/containers/policy.json"

{
  "default": [{ "type": "reject" }],
  "transports": {
    "dir": {
      "": [{ "type": "insecureAcceptAnything" }]
    },
    "docker": {
      "docker.io": [{ "type": "insecureAcceptAnything" }]
    }
  }
}

1. podman version

Expected behavior

Podman should display version accordingly but instead it will spit out: Error: could not get runtime: default OCI runtime "runc" not found: invalid argument.

Packages should install all required dependencies — by installing conmon and runc packages manually all the issues are gone.

nix-env --install podman-wrapper buildah-wrapper or nix-env --install -A nixpkgs.podman -A nixpkgs.buildah should install the wrappers that include the dependencies.

[x80486]

OK, that worked. I could swear I didn't see those wrappers when I did nix-env --query --available ".*(buildah|podman).*", but hey, I could have written that wrongly :roll_eyes:

Thanks for pointing those out. I think this is not an issue with the packages, but something I didn't know :man_shrugging:
