error Linkpath can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale

[rexroof]

apologies, bootc noob here.

I was able to successfully build this image, but trying to switch to it is giving me an ostree error:

root@localhost:/var/home/user/ubuntu-bootc# bootc switch --transport containers-storage localhost/ubuntu-bootc:latest
layers already present: 1; layers needed: 4 (1.6 GB)
Fetched layers: 0 B in 6 seconds (0 B/s)                                                                  error: Switching: Switching (ostree): Pulling: Importing: Parsing layer blob sha256:ea4aef9c15f78964d6514e3b89b0704a03e561cb1b858fe4543ddbca4cc39538: error: Linkpath can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale.: Processing tar: Failed to commit tar: ExitStatus(unix_wait_status(256))

bootc container lint doesn't report any errors, but I'm not sure it's doing the utf8 checks.

(not sure what Checks skipped there means)

inspecting the resulting container, i did find a file with extended characters, I added a step to the Containerfile to remove it:

rm -f /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/NetLock* && \

this was part of the rustup/dracut step. but this did not remedy the issue. but definitely did remove this file from the resulting container.

Any suggestions for remedying this?

I even tried completely flattening the image into one layer and still getting this error. I can't figure out which file might be causing this problem.

not getting any results from these commands:

root@fae358f62672:/# find / -type f  | grep -P -n "[\x00-\x1F\x7F-\xFF]"
root@fae358f62672:/# find / | perl -ne 'print if /[^[:ascii:]]/'

I figured out which files need to be cleaned up:

/etc/ssl/certs/NetLock_Arany_=Class_Gold=_Főtanúsítvány.pem
/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/NetLock_Arany_=Class_Gold=_Főtanúsítvány.crt
/etc/ssl/certs/988a38cb.0 -> NetLock_Arany_=Class_Gold=_Főtanúsítvány.pem

once I did that I was able to bootc switch to this image, but unfortunately it does not boot up.

I'm starting with a recent Aurora install, but attempting to boot this image results in this error:

[FAILED] Failed to start initrd-switch-root.service - Switch Root.

looking at the console log this line looks telling:

localhost @ystemctl[417]: Failed to switch root: Specified switch root path '/sysroot' does not seem to be an OS tree. os-release file is missing.

I don't know if I missed this error before, but bootc switch gives me this error:
