Subsystem creation failure reports success

[jardon]

I tried to create a subsystem based on ubuntu:jammy which gave a resource denied error. apx reports a successful creation despite a previous error.

jardon@apx-vso-pico:~$ apx --version
apx version v2.4.3

jardon@apx-vso-pico:~$ apx stacks show "ubuntu jammy"

After further inspection it appears to be an issue with distrobox (1.7.2.0).

/usr/share/apx/distrobox/distrobox create --additional-flags --label=name=test --label=nvidia=true --label=stack=ubuntu jammy --label=manager=apx --image docker.io/library/ubuntu:jammy --name apx-test --no-entry --yes --pull --nvidia does not succeed, but does not return an error for handling.

Running the command outside of apx gives the same result and proves the error is not handled correctly.

Also, it appears that the image was created in podman successfully.

After further inspection, the source of the issue has to do with podman, but the error is not caught by distrobox. I believe the issue lies here

[jardon]

The issue was from a mislabelling as reported here. You can see in the distrobox command above that "jammy" was separated from the stack label incorrectly.

The error doesnt seem to be handled correctly by distrobox as it returns a 0 despite podman failing. Closing for the time being.
