podman build fails to go build, throws godump

[georgettica]

Issue Description

for one container I tested, I am running a podman build and it throws an error in the stage of go build

I attached the go dump.
this started happening when I migrated to podman-desktop latest and moved to the new vm format.

Steps to reproduce the issue

go.mod.txt
go.sum.txt

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. add a dockerfile to take them and run podman build
2. see a partial error

you might need to create a main.go that will use all of the packages, but I am not sure how to do that without leaking the app code

Describe the results you received

log.txt

in here you can see the docker build steps and the error that showed up.

Describe the results you expected

just that the podman build passes

Additional information

I really love podman and podman-desktop but for now until there is a patch release I am moving to docker-desktop.

tested roolful and no help

tested to reinstall all components and no help
tried to downgrade to the original version and no help

I am willing to rerun this setup to check it if needed

what info is needed? I had podman info before

[baude]

Hello @georgettica and thanks for the issue filing. Unfortunately, it is hard to tell what is going on here because you didn't post the the podman build command. Ideally you do this with podman --log-level debug.

Nevertheless, it appears that you are trying to build an amd64 image on arm64. On top of that, you are also compiling go code. Apple broke rosetta and in Podman 5.6, we had to make some changes to use QEMU instead. If you happen to upgrade to Tahoe, check that blog out to re-enable rosetta and see if that helps. You could also downgrade to podman 5.5 and rosetta still works because there is an old podman-machine image.

I'm not sure there is much we can do here, but having more information would help and also confirming you meant to compile for amd64 on purpose. Confirming the arm64 build works would be nice too.

what info is needed? I had podman info before

sorry, i was typing out my reply after adding that label so we got out of sync a little.

[georgettica]

actually one of my tests was to remove the flag, and I expected it to use the correct image, but I am not sure this happened.

I will add the log level to the run when I do this (just need to uninstall docker-desktop and re-add podman)

[georgettica]

so, I have a few things

1: using
podman machine init --image "docker://quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.5"

as you suggested does the trick

though

rm -rf ~/.local/share/containers/podman ~/.config/containers/

is required as you might get

runtime: taggedPointerPack invalid packing: ptr=0xffffa0250000 tag=0x1 packed=0xffffa02500000001 -> ptr=0xffffffffa0250000 tag=0x1
fatal error: taggedPointerPack

changing it to

FROM --platform=linux/arm64 golang:1.25-alpine AS builder

solved my issue completely, maybe the combination of no

4: once the issue happens again, I will check the tahoe if I hit more issues :)

if you think this is enough to dig deeper and daignose I am happy with closing.
and if you need more feel free to ping :)
