  [Original report]
- 
  
  Try e.g. firejail --debug --version
  
  Expected outcome
  firejail working
  
  Observed outcome
  Error mkdir: util.c:1019 create_empty_dir_as_root: Permission denied
  
  Likely this is because the SUID bit is not set for /usr/bin/firejail.
  It was set in, at least, 21.04, is set in all checked debian packaged, 
"Firejail is a SUID security sandbox program (...)" and firejail works if it is 
set manually.
