the default docker image for act is buster-slim, while buildah is available for debian bullseye only. you could also try to switch to the ubuntu 20.04 image used by redhat in their examples. you can define custom images like that:

act --platform "ubuntu-latest=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04"

given the case you use "ubuntu-latest" in your jobs config within your workflow

then given buildah is not in the ubuntu:act-20.04 , install it with apt according to the instructions on the "buildah" github.

Thanks @robertkowalski
@georgettica please also take a look at the Runners section in our readme about the images that we provide for act.
