Dropbox fails to start with firejail dropbox due to the following error (use --ignore=private-tmp to let it get the log file /tmp/dropbox_error*):
ImportError: librsync.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The interesting part is that when starting it from a shell it works: firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/dropbox.profile sh -c dropbox.

@minus7 Can you please try if this is still an issue with latest Firejail 0.9.54? Alternatively can you comment noroot or shell none in /etc/firejail/dropbox.profile and see if this works? Thanks!
