Issue Description

Hi,

When starting podman on MacOS with 'podman machine start', I get the following error:

podman machine init
Looking up Podman Machine image at quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.3 to create VM
Extracting compressed file: podman-machine-default-arm64.raw: done  
Machine init complete
To start your machine run:

	podman machine start
mac053 run % podman machine start
Starting machine "podman-machine-default"
Error: unable to connect to "gvproxy" socket at "/var/folders/9p/0qtbnbn15b7163jgdbbv78kx6r2z9f/T/podman/podman-machine-default-gvproxy.sock"
mac053 run % 

The docker socket points to:

  1 root         daemon         66 Jan 23 16:42 docker.sock -> /Users/.../.local/share/containers/podman/machine/podman.sock

Where do I need to look to fix this issue?
Thanks

FYI

Podman/Brew updated referencing gvproxy 0.8.1. podman machine starts now

❯ /usr/local/Cellar/podman/5.3.2_1/libexec/podman/gvproxy -version
gvproxy version v0.8.1
