[Error]sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set

[LaneaLucy]

Describe the bug
Created a container with systems and installed some software. After exit the container, stop it and then enter it again, I can't use sudo anymore. Getting "sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set"

To Reproduce
distrobox-create -i docker.io/jgoerzen/debian-base-minimal --name dab --init
distrobox enter dab
git clone https://github.com/opendigitalradio/dab-scripts.git
sudo bash dab-scripts/install/mmbtools-get --branch master install
-- until here everything works normal --
exit
distrobox stop dab
distrobox enter dab
sudo nc

Expected behavior
I think, the expected behavior of sudo is self explaining....
It shouldn't say "sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set"

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Are you using podman or docker? Podman
• Which version or podman or docker?
• Which version of distrobox?
  Both versions that got installed yesterday by the distrobox installation scripts...

Additional context
The software I installed still works, but I need netcat for some other software, which is only found, when being executed with sudo...

Edit: and I'm running on steam Deck...

Hi @LaneaLucy
this is due to the dab-scripts you run.

In install/mmbtools-get line 317 it does a: chown --recursive ${odr_user}:${odr_user} /home/${odr_user}

This will include the files of the containers, thus setting the sudo in the container as owned by your user.

This is not a bug in distrobox, maybe you can contact the developers of that project to exclude the container files from that recursive chown,
