Failed to set execute bit on remote files

[pbrezina]

Summary

I get this error message when using the podman connection plugin ansible_connection: podman

Failed to set execute bit on remote files (rc: 255, err: Error: open /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers/3cd9e6f9a9c2ef61d3af4e63bee57571ea9f1d9b75782e56fabe2a26fade3566/userdata/d92176f8d558b6e60da40d8acf122d1ec9a7d21a0615e26aee40286cfa812485/exit/3cd9e6f9a9c2ef61d3af4e63bee57571ea9f1d9b75782e56fabe2a26fade3566: no such file or directory

I opened issue against podman collection first, but we tracked it down to ansible. containers/ansible-podman-collections#389

The issue is not visible with ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 therefore I can not provide any more information.

Until proven it's a fault in Ansible we can't be investigating code outside of our codebase as we don't know how the podman collection works. Please follow it up in your other issue containers/ansible-podman-collections#389 before asking here.
