Description

Summary

During some troubleshooting involving netns in VyOS and containers it seems that podman might want the package slirp4netns to be available.

Containers isnt my corebusiness so I hope to get some 2nd opinion on this?

Use case

Using containers in VyOS along with netns being configured.
