Description

Starting AnyDesk with firejail doesn't seem to work.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Run in bash firejail anydesk

Expected behavior

AnyDesk should open up as if it was run without firejail.

Actual behavior

The following error is returned:

Reading profile /etc/firejail/anydesk.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc

Behavior without a profile

What changed calling LC_ALL=C firejail --noprofile anydesk in a
terminal?

AnyDesk runs as it should.

Additional context

Any other detail that may help to understand/debug the problem

Environment

Name/version/arch of the Linux kernel (uname -srm): Linux 6.17.4-arch2-1 x86_64
Name/version of the Linux distribution (e.g. "Ubuntu 20.04" or "Arch Linux"): Arch Linux
Name/version of the relevant program(s)/package(s) (e.g. "firefox 134.0-1,
mesa 1:24.3.3-2"): anydesk-bin 7.1.0-1
Version of Firejail (firejail --version): firejail version 0.9.76
If you use a development version of firejail, also the commit from which it
was compiled (git rev-parse HEAD):

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)
