Description Jan Novotný 2023-07-05 20:06:52 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Build Identifier: 

When creating a new container using "distrobox-create" the container fails to display directory names properly.

For example the directory named "Stažené" shows up as "'Sta'$'\305\276''en'$'\303\251'" when using ls.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the czech locale
2. Create a directory inside the home that uses one of the offending symbols
3. Create a new distrobox container and run "ls"
Actual Results:  
Directory name isn't properly displayed.

Expected Results:  
Directory name is properly displayed.

A workaround is to install the "glibc-locale" package.

This can be automated by adding 'container_additional_packages="glibc-locale"' into the distrobox configuration.

Wouldn't a better workaround be to do `zypper aloc cs_CZ` in the distrobox rather than requiring everyones container to be bigger for locales that may not apply to them?
