Since Google leads to this issue when you search for the error message, I wanted to add (and hopefully save others some time):

  1. This happens when you install podman from the Ubuntu 22.04 repository without also installing fuse-overlayfs (which is only a Recommended or “soft” dependency).
  2. The fix that worked for me was to first install fuse-overlayfs and then afterward run rm -rf ~/.local/share/containers/ (as mentioned in a comment on #5114).
