Can't execute podman commands in a workspace with UDI9

[svor]

Describe the bug

It's not possible to execute any podman command in a workspace that was created from devfile with quay.io/devfile/universal-developer-image:ubi9-latest tools container image.

The error is: ERRO[0000] path "/home/user/.config" exists and it is not owned by the current user

Che version

7.99@latest

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a workspace from https://gist.githubusercontent.com/svor/25885549b0de03be4fa3ca00a2e871e7/raw/b5aa1f771821689e4800849736b8818f6017ad95/udi9-devfile.yaml on the dogfooding cluster
2. Open terminal and try to run podman info command

We had the same issue and for us it was because the entrypoint script in the UDI9 image as writing overlayfs content into /home/user/.config and setting the permissions to root either at the user or group level, I forget which.

Possibly around here https://github.com/devfile/developer-images/blob/main/base/ubi9/entrypoint.sh#L8-L16

While that was a nagging issue for me, it also seemed to have gone away on its own after I deleted the workspace I had (we have per-user perm volumes) and created a new one. For some reason then the directory and contents were owned by user.
