podman: option parsing failed: Unknown option -n

[ghost]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description

Doing practically anything with podman exits with status code 1 due to command-line options parsing failure.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

One quick example:

1. podman run -ti alpine:latest

Describe the results you received:

$ podman run -ti alpine:latest
Trying to pull docker.io/library/alpine:latest...
Getting image source signatures
Copying blob e7c96db7181b done
Copying config 055936d392 done
Writing manifest to image destination
Storing signatures
option parsing failed: Unknown option -n
                                        Error: exit status 1

Describe the results you expected:

Anything but exiting with option parsing failure.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

It happens with almost anything I do podman-related.

I installed from the Ubuntu PPA.

I also have this same problem. I'm guessing this wasn't a problem in the previous versions, but I can't seem to find an older one available on Ubuntu PPA.

Is this just podman run or any command?

[mheon]

Oh oh oh, it's not us, it's conmon. That explains it.

@lsm5 We're going to need to have the PPA point at github.com/containers/conmon and build master there, instead of CRI-O's version.

[mheon]

It helps when I hit the right button and don't accidentally close things

[rlittlefield]

Is this just podman run or any command?

It sounds like you already know what the problem is, but it mainly seems to be related to run. I don't get the problem any other way, but many commands require a container first.

[mheon]

Fix landed for the PPA, so closing

[pck]

PPA has an updated conmon for Ubuntu 18.04 but not for 16.04.

[rhatdan]

@lsm5 ^^

[jakefanvote]

On 16.04 same issue.

[mbigras]

This is an issue for me on ubuntu 16.04, I'm not able to run podman run without any options:

vagrant@srv0:~$ lsb_release -r
Release:    16.04
vagrant@srv0:~$ podman --version
podman version 1.4.0
vagrant@srv0:~$ podman run alpine echo hello world
option parsing failed: Unknown option -n
Error: exit status 1
vagrant@srv0:~$ sudo docker run alpine echo hello world
hello world

[mheon]

I'll poke @lsm5 again and ask about getting this fixed
