Description Kenton Groombridge gentoo-dev 2023-03-19 17:26:20 UTC 
Currently netavark installs its binary to /usr/bin/netavark which is not found by podman. It should instead be installed to /usr/libexec/podman/netavark in order to be usable. Otherwise, podman falls back to the cni network backend instead of netavark.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install podman and netavark.
2. Run "podman system reset" and enter "y". Podman will reinitialize its environment including the network backend.
3. Run "podman info | grep networkBackend" and see that Podman is still using the cni backend.

If we work around this by creating a link to /usr/bin/netavark at /usr/libexec/podman/netavark and run the above steps, podman will use netavark as the networking backend as expected.

Fixed in netavark-1.6.0. Thanks!
