Description Alex Arnold 2024-10-03 16:09:06 UTC
When trying to create a new toolbox container it tries to use version 38 instead of version 40.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Debarshi Ray 2024-10-03 18:32:09 UTC
Could you please show your /etc/os-release and the output from 'toolbox --verbose create' ?

Okay, I see the problem.

Currently, Toolbx only looks at ID in os-release(5), and doesn't fall back to ID_LIKE.  So, when it sees fedora-asahi-remix, it thinks that it's an unknown distribution that's not part of the officially supported set, and uses the fallback setting of fedora-toolbox:38.

There are two things to fix.

First, we should bump the fallback version to a supported version of Fedora.  I submitted a pull request for it, which I will backport to Fedora:
https://github.com/containers/toolbox/pull/1561

Second, we should add support for ID_LIKE to Toolbx.  Unfortunately, we need to wait a bit with this, because I would really like to roll a dot-zero release in the coming days, and this would be too much of a churn.

In the meantime, you could use toolbox.conf(5) to override the 'distro' and 'release' options to match your Fedora Asahi Remix host.

I will wait for other supported Fedora branches until the 0.0.99.6 release builds to go into stable.
