  I think it would be more appropriate to open a bug against
src:libpod, requesting that this fix be cherry-picked into bookworm as
a stable update. That way everyone gets the fix, not just those who
might be using bookworm-backports. I haven't investigated too much, but
the fix you linked to looks fairly small.

  As stated on the backports site[1]:
