[Bug?] Removing a container breaks other containers #20

Closed VortexAcherontic closed 7 months ago

VortexAcherontic commented 7 months ago

Hello there, as I opened up the app for the first time, created a new distrobx after no other boxes where found see: #16 I then created a new box just to test how the app works.

Which lead to #19 and after removing the container my other distrobox containers volumes where all broken.

distrobox-enter
Error: no such container tumbleweed
Creating the container tumbleweed
Creating 'tumbleweed' using image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/distrobox:latest   Error: creating container storage: the container name "tumbleweed" is already in use by a1b7b5887b84d7d92fc2d45b5fa5ae577fcfbb94da1576c80a0ce226c5f74833. You have to remove that container to be able to reuse that name: that name is already in use by an external entity, or use --replace to instruct Podman to do so.
 [ ERR ]
Error: no container with name or ID "tumbleweed" found: no such container

Additionally it broke m entire distrobox setup as I can not remove or create new container with the name of the containers which went broken by this:

distrobox-create develop --home /home/vortexacherontic/distrobox/develop_home 
Creating 'develop' using image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/distrobox:latest  Error: creating container storage: the container name "develop" is already in use by 29f8b31c201a7244e3eaeecd02bf4ce5e8d6e22f12fe95a9f870c6023d925118. You have to remove that container to be able to reuse that name: that name is already in use by an external entity, or use --replace to instruct Podman to do so.
 [ ERR ]

distrobox-rm develop
Error: no such container develop
Cannot find container develop.

To recover I had podman to instruct to prune all the volumes and containers.

No idea how that happened, do you have existing rootful containers with the same name as one you tried to create?

After digging in a bit in the code to possibly provide an PR I am sure I made a mistake.
As BoxBuddy didn't found any of my existing containers I created a new one with a name I already hat. My bad.
