Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1585

After upgrading to 0.9.50 from 0.9.48, my mutt setup stopped working. I'm running gpg-agent outside of the jail (it starts on login) and in 0.9.48 I'm using cached password to decrypt stuff needed for sending emails. However, this doesn't work anymore in 0.9.50 since it always asks for password for the first time (which is pain to get to work since there is no tty in jail (not a tty from tty command). Combined with private-dev introduced in 0.9.50 it's hard to make it work.

I've tried both:

48's /etc with 50 firejail - doesn't work
50's /etc with 48 firejail - does work (after commenting out nodvd and notv)

So the regression is in firejail itself and not in the profiles.
