@dmlond @Andreyooo if you remove the -qq from the apt-get call it will tell you what is going on. The tl;dr is that there is not a compatible version of libseccomp2 for Debian10/Raspberry Pi OS 10, so you have to manually install it from the buster-backports source before installing podman.

First make sure you have the keys for the debian archive: sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
Source the repo with the unstable version that will satisfy podman’s dependencies: echo 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Then update sudo apt-get update
Manually install the libseccomp2: v2.4.4-1 package to make podman happy sudo apt-get -y -t buster-backports install libseccomp2

Good luck!

2.0.5~3 is available in the OBS stable repo now. Closing this. Please reopen if you still see this issue.
