Error: database storage temporary directory (runroot) "" does not match our storage temporary directory (runroot) "/var/tmp/podman_test2131378507/runroot": database configuration mismatch

Seen just now in f38 root, in #17831 which has no flake retries:

Podman run with --sig-proxy
  [It] signals are not forwarded to container with sig-proxy false
 .....
  # podman [options] run --name test2 --sig-proxy=false quay.io/libpod/systemd-image:20230531 bash -c trap "echo Received" SIGFPE; while :; do sleep 0.25; done
  # podman [options] ps -q
  Error: database storage temporary directory (runroot) "" does not match our storage temporary directory (runroot) "/var/tmp/podman_test2131378507/runroot": database configuration mismatch

My cirrus-flake-grep shows no other instances of this. Even though this is a one-off, I'm filing anyway because I just really don't like it.

F38 root boltdb? We have a lot of special handling around putting the empty string in DB paths in Bolt, and none in SQLite, so that's kind of surprising.

A friendly reminder that this issue had no activity for 30 days.

@edsantiago Still seeing this?

Nope, only that one time. Let's sweep it under the rug.
