I wonder would it be possible to add podman to the list of dependencies and use it for image building instead.

Hi @mmatczuk! Thanks for the issue.

First of, which version of kraft are you running and if you're not running 0.11.1, can you please upgrade and try again?

With regard to podman/buildah (and this ecosystem) we are working internally to provide better support on this front. :)
