Describe the bug

I can't enter archlinux container with distrobox. It's probably a mirror error. I can't get pass the step of distrobox enter arch.

distrobox enter arch
Container arch is not running.
Starting container arch
run this command to follow along:

 podman logs -f arch

 Starting container...                           [ OK ]
 Installing basic packages...                    Error: An error occurred

I tried with vpn. Still doesn't work.
if I see the logs podman logs -f arch. I get this error.

Looks like those packages should be added to https://github.com/toolbx-images/images/blob/main/archlinux/extra-packages

@travier I think this is another issue.

It could be that our geo mirror isn't working correctly. @tazihad can you paste the output of this command:

ping -c 1 -4 geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com

So we now what mirror you are connecting too.

It seems to be an issue with the default mirror from the toolbox container image.

I don't think the toolbox image should add more tools to the image https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/f008b521ee776a66c36a87848c85d3e3f0f6a3dd/distrobox-init#L551

[travier]

Upstream toolbox images now include vulkan-drivers packages: https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/main/images/fedora/f38/extra-packages#L23

Those will be installed by distrobox on first setup time: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/f008b521ee776a66c36a87848c85d3e3f0f6a3dd/distrobox-init#L589

We should included those in the image directly instead.

There might indeed be two issues here, one with the mirrors, one with the missing pacakges.

Okay, I can submit a patch to include this into our images.
