   Hi,

   IIRC I've seen a comment somewhere in a discussion on an issue or PR   
   in the https://github.com/roddhjav/apparmor.d/ project that said it   
   was possible to force Glycin to turn off its sandboxing, by denying   
   1 of the access it was using on startup to check if sandboxing   
   was possible.   
      
   This is clearly a poor long-term choice, but if a 1-liner quick fix   
   implements this (bringing us back to where we were 2 weeks ago in   
   terms of security and bugs), it might buy us some time while we figure   
   out how we want to approach the whole thing.   
      
   I'll try to find this workaround tomorrow.   
      
   Cheers,
