Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/832

In 9498f23, you added private-tmp to some sysutils (e.g. file, tar, unzip), which prevents using them on files in /tmp, which isn't an uncommon use case (at least I'm using them frequently on files downloaded to /tmp).
I don't think having a private tmp for them gains much security.
Could you consider reverting those changes?
