Podman tries update container on every start after adding "--platform=linux/amd64" key to "podman run" command.

[NTMan]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description
To unify the startup script, I added the "--platform=linux/amd64" key to the "podman run" command to support running containers on MacOs.
But it leads to update container on every start.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Run container with podman with command

$ podman run --platform=linux/amd64 --rm --name="stend" --hostname="myhost.dev-vpn.company.com" --net host --shm-size=1g  --memory="16g" --memory-swap="32g" dev-image-store.company.com/local_stand/inside:year.version

Describe the results you received:
On every launch podman tries update container.

Describe the results you expected:
I update container when I want. (podman didn't tries update container automatically on every launch)

Thanks for reaching out, @NTMan!

By "updating" I assume you refer to "pulling" down the image?

I am only seeing this when I switch back and forth between two images.

If I run the same container twice, it only pulls once.

If I change arches it pulls again.

Then if I switch back to the original arch, it pulls again.

I share @rhatdan's observation. @NTMan could you share the sequence of commands you are using along with the received and expected output?

This is the same issue as #17063 which has been fixed. The upcoming Podman 4.4 release will ship the fix.

[NTMan]

$ podman --version
podman version 4.5.0

I am again faced to this bug with podman 4.5.0

[vrothberg]

This is the same issue as #17063 which has been fixed. The upcoming Podman 4.4 release will ship the fix.

Please follow the linked issue above. As mentioned in #17063 (comment), we had to revert the fix as it caused regressions on other sides.

Apologies, I know it's not an ideal behavior for this use case but it's tough to iron it out.
