I would say that this is not an issue caused by Toolbox but by Podman. containers/podman#4210. Try the fix mentioned in the issue. Podman sometimes has problems on updates not updating the config directory.

[cschalle]

Yeah, Debarshi asked to to file the ticket so he could track it. That said removing libpod.conf as mentioned in that libpod bug do seem to resolve the issue.

@cschalle could you try rm -rf ~/.config/containers ?
