"Podman Service is Not Active" despite it being active

[tavianator]

I enabled and started the podman.socket unit. Despite this, http://localhost:9090/podman tells me "Podman Service is Not Active." When loading that page, I see this in journalctl:

[marusak]

what version of podman do you use?

[tavianator]

In the logs I see

Failed to parse parameters for /v1.12/events?: unexpected end of JSON input

[tavianator]

what version of podman do you use?

2.0.3

[marusak]

2.0.3

Yeah, though so. This version of podman is broken unfortunately and thus unusable. See containers/podman#7078
