winget installation now requires WSL #22045

Closed krachynski closed 8 months ago

krachynski commented 8 months ago

Issue Description

While recently updating my system to report a bug on Podman Desktop's Kind extension, I discovered that Podman's winget package now requires WSL to be enabled and refuses to install if run from a non-elevated prompt.

I know Podman Desktop requires WSL in order to run, I would expect to be able to install podman for connecting to remote podman systems without needing WSL.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Open a prompt (I use pwsh 7.4)
  2. winget install RedHat.Podman-Desktop
  3. Wait for installation to complete
  4. winget install RedHat.Podman
  5. Observe error message

I doesn't know much about winget, does it use our official podman setup.exe to install? If not this is likely not under our control.

krachynski commented 8 months ago

it does, but the winget package itself is specifying a dependency on this windows feature. which requires an elevated prompt to enable before running the setup.exe

krachynski commented 8 months ago

oh. I didn't realize that I hadn't included the log for the successful elevated prompt

@n1hility Is this something that is set by our installer?

Podman can be used as remote client only without any machine so we shouldn't force WSL on users

n1hility commented 8 months ago

This is something the package is specifying I agree it should not be required.

@krachynski if you are interested in sending a PR to them this would be a small one requesting they drop this:

Luap99 commented 8 months ago

Closing is that is not an issue on our side then
