Podman Cross-Platform Image Pull Error: unpacking failed (error: exit status 1; output: no such file or directory)

[vlix-vli]

OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Arch: amd64
podman version: 5.3.1

I tried pulling a Windows image, and I have confirmed the following:

1. There is enough storage space.
2. sudo apt install qemu-system, sudo apt install qemu-system-x86
3. I attempted to pull the image from multiple registries

However, I am still encountering the following error:

podman pull --platform windows/amd64 python:3.14.0a2
Resolving "python" using unqualified-search registries (/etc/containers/registries.conf)

What could be the cause of this, and how can it be resolved?

I'm getting the same with large windows images... It's pretty hard getting any information to go on.
