The upload in the Xenial SRU queue has no Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed in the .changes file, this will break the SRU process. Please reupload the package such that Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed are produced.

Please reject it, and I'll upload again with a proper Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed entry…

I'll go ahead and accept this but I think the test case should include some information about how to ensure that firejail is still working and doesn't regress.

I've been running Firejail 0.9.38.10 for more than a week now, on several computers which are being used intensively. Operating systems: Xubuntu 16.04.1 and Linux Mint 18.1 Xfce (which is based on Ubuntu 16.04).

It works fine; I haven't noticed any regression.

I also tested basic functionality in a Ubuntu 16.04.1 VM, like restricted access to blacklisted files, separate process and network namespaces, private directories.
I also don't see any regression with the proposed 0.9.38.10-0ubuntu0.16.04.1.
