Subject: firejail: “Error fbuilder: invalid program” when pairing --build & --env options together

Package: firejail
Version: 0.9.64.4-2

Ran this:

  ===8<------------------------------
  $ LC_ALL=C firejail --build=kalium.profile --net=vnet0 --dns=$mydns --env=XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${myconfig_dir}" /usr/local/src/kalium/gradlew jvmTest
  ===8<------------------------------

Output:

  ===8<------------------------------
  Error fbuilder: invalid program
  Firejail profile builder
  Usage: firejail [--debug] --build[=profile-file] program-and-arguments
  ===8<------------------------------

Omitting “--build=kalium.profile” is syntactically accepted, but it
craps out with lots of other errors. Omitting “--env=…” is also
syntactically accepted. Apparently “--build=kalium.profile” &
“--env=…” options cannot be used together.
