[Error] Distrobox hangs indefinitely when entering root container with system init

[Eoin-ONeill-Yokai]

Describe the bug I was following this guide for getting libvirt running on my system and ran into an issue where the system would lock up when entering the distrobox and become completely unresponsive. This is on a system running Sway and xfce-polkit, and I'm experiencing this issue on other tiled window managers as well. Lastly, my terminal of choice is Kitty which seems to work perfectly with regular distrobox containers. Unfortunately, I can't get the logs as the process halts during execution, so I've included my podman logs which looks like it succeeds creating the container but there are some notable errors that I'll share below:

I haven't cross-checked with a normal distrobox log whether or not these errors are expected though.

To Reproduce With a minimal system (fedora core + xfce-polkit + sway + kitty terminal), attempt to run the above-mentioned virtman tutorial after verifying that distrobox works as expected otherwise.

Expected behavior No hanging at bare minimum, would prefer a fail condition over the system crashing entirely.

Logs podman-log.txt

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Are you using podman, docker or lilipod? Which version or podman, docker or lilipod?

podman 5.1.1

• Which version of distrobox?

distrobox 1.7.2.1

• Which host distribution?

Wayblue or UCore Atomic OS.

• How did you install distrobox?

rpm-ostree install distrobox or equivalent layering

Additional context This issue could more likely be a system configuration issue than an actual distrobox bug. My original guess was that polkit wasn't initialized properly on my system and was hanging on asking for user authentication but I've since verified that's not the problem. I'm a bit at a loss for what possible dependency I'm missing so I'm hoping that someone could help me debug this.
