Yes, I'm sorry about that. It's a known problem that will be fixed in 1.5.2. It happens intermittently when there are more than 2 cores. Workarounds include downgrading to 1.4.5 and setting an environment variable APPTAINER_IGNORE_PROOT=1. See https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/issues/3560 for more details. The workaround works, thank you! Best of luck with fixing the issue, I will leave this open so that I(or anyone else interested) get emailed when the fix makes its way into Fedora 44.

Created attachment 2145571 [details] Def file I used to test this. Description of problem: Building any apptainer container seems to segfault. I at first thought this was an issue specific to my specific usecase, but it seems to also happen in an isolated test case, and also on a clean virtual machine of fedora 44 as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.1-1.fc44 How reproducible: Build any large/complex container, example script attached. Happens most of the time, the larger the image the higher the likelihood. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build any large container 2. Observe Segmentation Fault Actual results: segmentation fault Expected results: success Additional info: I can upload the core dump as well if there is a large file upload functionality somewhere.
