[BUG] Distrobox fails to create #906

@An-anonymous-coder

Description

@An-anonymous-coder

Describe the bug
Both distrobox-create and ujust distrobox-assemble fail to create distroboxes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open the terminal
  2. Enter distrobox-create or ujust distrobox-assemble
  3. Follow the instructions to create a Distrobox
  4. The command will give the error:
cannot clone: Permission denied
Error: cannot re-exec process

Expected behavior
A Distrobox should be created without issue

Actual behavior
The command errors. When run as run0, the command will refuse to run as it is running as root. distrobox-create --root doesn't work there, either.

  • Confirm you cannot repro on a uBlue base image

I don't know how to do that.
