No longer able to enable state overlay

[woprandi]

I'm no longer able to set /opt writable on my image. It worked several weeks ago

FROM quay.io/bootc-devel/fedora-bootc-43-standard

RUN echo "password" | passwd --stdin
RUN rm -rf /opt && mkdir /opt
RUN systemctl enable ostree-state-overlay@opt.service

systemctl status ostree-state-overlay@opt.service

Thanks for the report! I am able to reproduce this and I'll take a look to see where this stopped working.
