Description

Evince has a plugin allows user to read the archived images in .cbz format (same as .zip) used in comic books:

Its function is broken under firejail with default evince profile because libarchive need to be accessed to extract contents from the zip file. libarchive is a library enables program working with several different archive formats.

Steps to Reproduce

Run firejail evince testfile.cbz
cbz file can not be opened
There is error from command line libarchive.so.13: cannot open ...

Expected behavior

With comics backend plugin installed, evince should display images from .cbz format.

Behavior without a profile

Without a profile, the .cbz test file can be accessed.

Environment

Firejail version 0.9.66

Checklist

The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
- I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)

Log

Output of firejail /path/to/program

I will fix this problem by adding libarchive support in the private-lib configurations.
