Package: distrobox
Version: 1.4.2.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
It seems like the package comes without any registries for the images.
Any time I run "distrobox create -i archlinux" or any other distro it will just
give errors.
Image archlinux not found.
Do you want to pull the image now? [Y/n]: y
Error: short-name "archlinux" did not resolve to an alias and no unqualified-
search registries are defined in "/etc/containers/registries.conf"

Thanks for reporting this.
podman now depends on golang-github-containers-common which provides
/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/shortnames.conf so this is no longer
an issue.
I also checked that when distrobox is isntalled with docker.io,
shortnames are resolved correctly (though not using golang-github-
containers-common - and they get pulled from docker.io instead)
