Runner test in upstream podman CI: undefined: syscall.Issue28732Fix

Summary

Hi. As part of the upstream podman project, we've been running some of the gitlab runner's tests in our CI. Recently, sometime between 7th-10th of Dec. they started failing with an error referencing the (non-existant?) issue "28732".

I followed the instructions in this comment to get things running. Otherwise I'm very much ignorant of the inner-workings of this/these tests. Our setup is running most operations as a regular user (setup script) on Ubuntu 21.10. They've basically been working flawlessly for months until now.

Steps to reproduce

1. Build & install upstream podman.
2. Install containerd and docker-ce from upstream package repos.
3. Stop and disable dockerd + docker socket services
4. As a user, clone gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner
5. As a user, from within $GOPATH/src/$slug/, run make development_setup
6. Similarly, run go get .

Actual behavior

(log)

go: downloading github.com/pierrec/lz4 v2.0.5+incompatible
go: downloading github.com/ryanuber/go-glob v1.0.0
# gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/helpers/patches/issue_28732
helpers/patches/issue_28732/syscall.go:11:2: undefined: syscall.Issue28732Fix

Expected behavior

Gitlab runner builds successfully and go test passes (as in script) with DOCKER_HOST pointing at a podman socket.
