If I am a non-root user, trying to use a non-root image, this fails with

$ rpm-showme localhost/nsquash:latest size
mkdir: cannot create directory '/workdir': Permission denied
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/tdawson/bin/rpm-showme", line 753, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/tdawson/bin/rpm-showme", line 643, in main
    packages = get_packages(args.what)
  File "/home/tdawson/bin/rpm-showme", line 601, in get_packages
    packages = load_packages_from_container_image(name)
  File "/home/tdawson/bin/rpm-showme", line 188, in load_packages_from_container_image
    base.fill_sack()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 387, in fill_sack
    self._sack.load_system_repo(build_cache=False)
OSError: failed calculating RPMDB checksum

When I ended the image manually, I see that I am uid=27(mysql) and that I do not have write access to the directory /workdir.

Nice catch!
