Lacking space within distrobox

Not sure whether this is a problem caused by the immutable file system or just a distrobox error, but when I run ujust update my davinciibox distrobox says that it has run out of space to install the packages in /usr:

The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Transaction test error:
  installing package nvidia-modprobe-3:560.35.03-1.fc40.x86_64 needs 20KB more space on the /usr/share/licenses/nvidia-modprobe filesystem
  installing package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-3:560.35.03-3.fc40.x86_64 needs 3MB more space on the /usr/share/licenses/nvidia-modprobe filesystem
  installing package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-3:560.35.03-3.fc40.x86_64 needs 169MB more space on the /usr/share/licenses/nvidia-modprobe filesystem

Solution:

ask on the ublue discord, davincibox github, or some distrobox community space if you can't figure it out

if your disk isn't actually full, probably a distrobox error check with df -h file system shouldnt be the cause
