Can't start because X11 isn't present? #138

Description

@a12l

I'm trying to get an interactive session with GHC on my virtual machine hosting FreeBSD 14.1. I'm using sysutils/podman-suite from FreeBSD's ports to run OCI containers, and the Haskell images is the first to cause any problem. There's no problem running Debian slim, so there's something in the Dockerfile here that's causing the problem.

The following terminal (manual) transcript is from my FreeBSD VM running on Hyper-V

# podman run -it --rm --os=linux docker.io/haskell:9.10-slim-bullseye
[Usual blob fetching]
Error: copying system image from manifest list: writing blob: adding layer with blob "sha256:79c0c33664058[...]": ApplyLayer stdout: stderr: faccessat /etc/X11: invalid argument exit status 1

# podman run -it --rm --os=linux docker.io/debian:bullseye-slim /bin/echo "Hello from Debian"
[Usual blob fetching]
Hello from Debian

And there's no problem getting GHCi up and running on my NixOS 24.04 system in a container

# podman run -it --rm docker.io/haskell:9.10-slim-bullseye
[Blobs, manifests, etc.]
GHCi, version 9.10.1: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
ghci>

I'm running Podman as root on both systems.
