Public bug reported:

Try e.g. firejail --debug --version

Expected outcome
firejail working

Observed outcome
Error mkdir: util.c:1019 create_empty_dir_as_root: Permission denied


Likely this is because the SUID bit is not set for /usr/bin/firejail.
It was set in, at least, 21.04, is set in all checked debian packaged, 
"Firejail is a SUID security sandbox program (...)" and firejail works if it is 
set manually.
