Issue
What were you trying to do that didn't work?
When running podman machine init to initialize a podman-machine VM the process fails because podman tries to call qemu-system-x86_64 which is not available in RHEL
$ podman machine init
Error: exec: "qemu-system-x86_64": executable file not found in $PATH
$ virsh nodeinfo
CPU model:

RHEL only ships and supports qemu-kvm and does not provide qemu-system-{arch}
Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
