I installed Fedora 43 with this command distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:43 --init --additional-packages "systemd" -n test then I installed Mullvad VPN with these commands sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo and sudo dnf install mullvad-vpn. Once it's finished, I tried to type mullvad status but it gives an error message

Error: Management RPC server or client error  

Caused by:  
         0:   transport error  
         1:   No such file or directory (os error 2)  
         2:   No such file or directory (os error 2)  

How to solve this issue ? I just want to use mullvad-cli

I use Bazzite, and I've had to install Mullvad manually using a local rpm package downloaded from their site. Works fine like that.

Only annoyance is that I have to repeat the process manually when the app updates, but there is always a banner saying a new version is available, and it takes like 2 min to remove the old version, install the new local package, and then reboot. Use rpm-ostree command to install/uninstall.

Edit: I guess it might be different on SteamOS given that it's Arch based instead of Fedora... Not sure if it works in a distrobox.
