[Error] Cannot enter container with either podman or lilipod on SteamOS 3.4

[Sunspark-007]

Describe the bug After successfully creating an Ubuntu container using lilipod (failed with podman as per issue #1509), trying to enter the container does not work.

To Reproduce With Podman:

(deck@steamdeck bin)$ distrobox enter ubuntu-24-04
Error: no such container ubuntu-24-04
Create it now, out of image registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39? [Y/n]: 
Creating the container ubuntu-24-04
Error: open /etc/containers/policy.json: no such file or directory

With Lilipod:

(deck@steamdeck bin)$ distrobox enter ubuntu-24-04
2024/08/07 14:29:18 no such object: [ubuntu-24-04]
Create it now, out of image registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39? [Y/n]: 
Creating the container ubuntu-24-04
Distrobox named 'ubuntu-24-04' already exists.
To enter, run:
distrobox enter ubuntu-24-04
 Error: could not start entrypoint.

Expected behavior For the container to open.

This may be fixed as I figured out the policy.json file in #1509 but there are issues likely related to #1511 I have not been able to do stuff in the image yet as I think there may be a uid/gid issue.

I have cleaned the installation and started over with lilipod.. it still doesn't let me enter.. Why? Why does it say no such object and want to start over with some fedora user registry?

(deck@steamdeck ~)$ distrobox-enter ubuntu

Ok. For creating it, run this command:
        distrobox create <name-of-container> --image <remote>/<docker>:<tag>
(deck@steamdeck ~)$ distrobox-list

May be a regression with #1333 as I have 0.0.3 installed. Removing the image and creating it again with 0.0.2 did not resolve the issue. Still says could not start entrypoint.

Update: I tried swapping out the distrobox scripts down to 1.6 to see if that would help, but all had the entry issue. Please let me know what further info I can provide that might help figure out why the entry point doesn't work.
