I use Fedora Atomic (Kinoite).
I need a toolbox container for various purposes, but I can’t create it.
Just after downloading the image from the registery, it fails when lchown()ing on a polkit directory.
chown -R polkitd:polkitd /etc/polkit-1/localauthority doesn’t fix the issue, then I have copied the “default” permissions back.

This issue is persistent with other versions and distros too…
I will (try to) use distrobox for the time being, but how do I solve this issue? (toolbox is better integrated into system…)
