when host has podman from podman-next and podman-remote is run inside a toolbox : unmarshalling error about podman HOT 4 OPEN

This looks like a client/server mismatch. We made some breaking changes to podman inspect going from 4.x to 5.0 to improve Docker compat, and stopsignal changing type was one of them. Can you make sure both client and server are 5.x versions?

Mmm right, I tried installing podman-remote from podman-next and the issue disappears. Should it be closed then?

I was thinking that maybe some nice stderr message of version mismatch would be more polite to the user, but only if the plan is to support different podman/podman-remote versions for long time, which I am not sure about.

Version mismatch message does seem like a good idea, especially for a major version mismatch - we know that 4.x and 5.x will have incompatibilities when used together

I think we explicitly didn't want the version check as almost all endpoints work normal. Only inspect was changed. IMO as I commented on the PR instead of blocking outright we should rather do the work and on a v4 request return the v4 payload.
