Running the ./generate.sh script as a super-user, with --remove-orphans removed, podman exits with the following error:

Entering the container using sudo podman run -it localhost/rpi-imagegen:latest and running ./build.sh, another error can be found:

Module binfmt_misc not loaded in host
Please run:
  sudo modprobe binfmt_misc

There is no kernel module available to me as binfmt_misc on Arch Linux, but binfmt seems to be configured properly on my system, the output of running mount | grep "binfmt" is

systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=42,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=9982)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

And the status of each systemd service (proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount, systemd-binfmt.service, and proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount) are all active and seem normal.

Let me know if anymore information is needed.

System info:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.12.51-1-lts

I was unable to reproduce this issue. @erfi-x2 , have you had any luck (or different behavior) since you originally opened this issue?

[erfi-x2]

Nope on the same machine I still have those errors. On different virtual machines, I could get normal rpi-image-gen to work fine but this specific image I couldn't. I tried to run rpi-image-gen on the same machine but I couldn't download mmdebstrap as when attempting to download a release I get a server error.
