It doesn't mean it should install trillion of bundled libraries.
(Not that other browsers are much bettter...)


Whatever, the bug is neither in chromium nor in cryptsetup and libdevmapper
but kernel.

Sandoxing uses clone with CLONE_NEWNET (use own net namespace) and after
that call some udev event in kernel reports failure (netlink send fails).

I will report that upstream because this is quite unexpected result, easily
reproducible with simple clone() and dmsetup.

(DM is here victim because it is one of the rare users of kobject_uevent_env()
which checks return value, others quietly ignore this failure:-)
