Description

When I try to run a container using podman v3.4.0 on macOS 11.6 x86_64, I get the following issue:

$ podman run hello-world 
Resolved "hello-world" as an alias (/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/000-shortnames.conf)

Running a container fails for podman remote as well as when I ssh into the machine and execute the command with the same error.

Describe the results you received:

Running a container fails with the error message:

Error: error preparing container 4c55ffed4a30a40b87a20cffc862661c8755c81d766b6cac45e0ee680d64f2fe for attach: error configuring network namespace for container 4c55ffed4a30a40b87a20cffc862661c8755c81d766b6cac45e0ee680d64f2fe: error adding pod busy_darwin_busy_darwin to CNI network "podman": unexpected end of JSON input

Describe the results you expected: The container starts.

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

Looking at the symptom this looks similar to containers/podman#11452 and containers/podman#11235, but I already checked and I do not have a ~/.docker directory anymore.

$ podman network inspect podman
