Hi Jeremy

I understand this might seem frustrating, but the TL;DR is: Because it
isn't as clear as it might seem

Detail:

As you see throughout the discussions many have tried to recreate it
with those steps but it was not triggering for further debugging.

Just to be sure I did try to recreate again in a new clean system (this
time direct upgrades, no do-release-upgrade) upgrading X-B-F => no
issues. I also rechecked the libseccomp.so files - always had only those
belonging to the current installed version.

As you can see the open question is either:
a) find the details to the steps to really recreate this
or
b) finding out where the older files came from as they have in none of the case 
been part of the system that was upgraded from but from somewhere further in 
the past.
