Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2378

OS: Linux Mint 19.1 MATE 64-bit
youtube-dl v. 2019.01.27
upgrading firejail from 0.9.56 > 0.9.58

After downloading and installing 'firejail-apparmor_0.9.58_1_amd64.deb' from sourceforge, the 'firejail youtube-dl' <.....> command yields the follow errors:

~ $ firejail youtube-dl --help
Error: execute permission denied for /home/marty/bin/youtube-dl
Error: no suitable youtube-dl executable found
~ $ firejail youtube-dl --version
Error: execute permission denied for /home/marty/bin/youtube-dl
Error: no suitable youtube-dl executable found

Permissions for 'youtube-dl':

-rwx------ 1 marty marty 1733727 Jan 28 14:43 /home/marty/bin/youtube-dl

Purged the 'firejail-apparmor' install and installed 'firejail_0.9.58~rc1_1_amd64.deb'. No change, same errors when attempting to use 'youtube-dl' with firejail* 0.9.58.

Reverted back to 'firejail_0.9.56_1_amd64.deb' and now the 'firejail youtube-dl' command functions without errors once again.

Yes that command works for me from the command line. Actually,

firejail --ignore='noexec ${HOME}' youtube-dl

works as well. Thanks for the tip!

I'll check those links out, thanks again.

Now to figure out how to enter this 'ignore' into ~/.config/firejail/youtube-dl.profile' so I don't have to add the above switch all the time?

Now to figure out _how_ to enter this 'ignore' into ~/.config/firejail/youtube-dl.profile' so I don't have to add the above switch all the time? .
