Distrobox doesn't work after the update

I’m now on version 42.20250430. The distrobox now just refuses to launch at all.

Error: unable to start container “d28ae0b519037e9d57a3756f6c0f416a078193f97b500984cbb94fb1841702a6”: crun: cannot stat /etc/hostname: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

Basically all containers fail to do anything giving this error

This was broken in bluefin recently too.
You can work around it by:

sudo touch /etc/hostname
