Container crashes when installing some applications

[89luca89]

This is a problem fixed on 1.7.1

I have the same issue in 1.7.1 with podman 5.0.0 on Arch
Running pacman -Syu always crashes the container (corrupting pacman database) during "Processing triggers" like mentioned in #1312

Maybe there's something more going on there?

Let's see I'll reopen this issue
Maybe it is something different

I'll try when back from holidays

For now can you try with a freshly pulled image, create a new container with 1.7.1 and see if this occurs?

Thanks!

I couldn't reproduce the issue with a freshly pulled archlinux:base-20240101.0.204074 image.

I noticed on the container with the issue that /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/distrobox_post_hook.sh contained 64 times:

#!/bin/sh
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nexit 0' > /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/systemd-hook;

Which is not the case in the fresh container (the two lines are only present once).

It's probably time to upgrade my containers anyway, it seems the new assemble feature will make this easier. Usually I pacman -Syu them but maybe it's better practice to pull the latest image and reinstall all the packages every once in a while.
