Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2782

After updating to the latest git version, I'm unable to start any programs firejailed.

I'm always getting the following error message:

Access error: pid 1000, last mount name:/usr/bin dir:/usr/bin type:ext4 - invalid read-only mount

I guess it's related to this commit.

It's because /bin is symlinked in Arch (and some other distros).

I'll push a fix soon. Sorry everyone.
