Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2309

I have the following error when I try to run emacs with firejail. Emacs is probably trying to decrypt ~/.authinfo.gpg at launch.

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/bbigras2/.emacs.d/init.el’:

File error: Opening input file, Decryption failed, No secret key: <some key>

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace.

NixOS unstable

firejail version 0.9.56

Compile time support:
        - AppArmor support is disabled
        - AppImage support is enabled
        - chroot support is enabled

        - file transfer support is enabled
        - networking support is enabled

Can you try the following

mkdir -p ~/.config/firejail
echo "noblacklist ${HOME}/.gnupg" >> ~/.config/firejail/emacs.local
#run emacs

It works but for some reason I had to use /etc/firejail/emacs.local on NixOS (04bbb2ab6b).

Should "noblacklist" be included in the default profile? I would think it could be better not, since not everyone must use gpg in emacs.
