Distrobox and podman containers no longer work.

Error message: Error: unable to start container “ea0f1db2d4db2d9c89f9b8811f532e721f6f62682aabefe367d748a0551ac9ec”: crun: cannot stat /etc/hostname: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

Anyone else have this problem?
If so, how do we solve this?

Thanks,

Per my article - Did You Know? How ostree update merges changes into etc and var - /usr/etc contains the version specific golden copy. I see a 0 byte file at /usr/etc/hostname when booted with 41.20250309.1 (bluefin-dx-nvidia:stable).

Based on what I learned while putting the article together I would not expect /etc/hostname to be touched if it has been modified.

Try resetting the hostname (using hostnamectl) and then switch back. It should not be touched.

Thanks for that, such a simple solution.
