Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/118

Chromium fails to launch because it depends on the usage of perl, which is blacklisted in the chromium script due to the incluson of the the disable-devel.inc file, which blacklists perl.

This is infact caused from ArchLinux's configuration of chromium. The repository package comes with a perl script that is used to launch the browser, and the blacklisting of perl is causing said script to fail.

The issue can be remedied by creating a custom chromium profile which overrides the existing one, and adding a line to noblacklist /usr/bin/perl

This will be closed as it is not a bug in firejail.

Fixed in Firejail - disable-devel.inc is commented out.

Wouldn't it be better to instead add the following at the top of the chromium.profile:

# Do not blacklist perl, needed for launcher script
noblacklist /usr/bin/perl
noblacklist /usr/share/perl*
noblacklist /usr/lib/perl*

This way users will still benefit from the blacklisting of other devel items, but still be able to utilze the perl script when needed.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. There will be some more modifications going in there.
