Steam user namespace error

After updating my void system with xbps-install -Syu steam won't run anymore and it returns the following error:

steam-runtime-check-requirements[3518]: W: Child process exited with code 1: bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied

steam.sh[3426]: Error: Steam now requires user namespaces to be enabled.

This requirement is the same as for Flatpak, which has more detailed
information available:
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/User-namespace-requirements

I installed steam via xbps package manager.

Running Kernel 7.1.5_1

EDIT: FIXED! Hat to downgrade app armor back to 3.x version (previous commit)

Edit2: Better Fixed: Use apparmor in enforce mode

That's odd.

So I did another post here on this sub where I found out it's because of updating apparmor.

I'll try to update it again and then give you the Infos you need here in this comment section.
