Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Running QRT, I noticed the following
type=AVC msg=audit(1285699344.220:156): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=8226 profile="/usr/bin/evince-previewer" name="/etc/texmf/dvips/" pid=13775 comm="evince-previewe" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0
type=AVC msg=audit(1285699344.220:157): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=8226 profile="/usr/bin/evince-previewer" name="/etc/texmf/" pid=13775 comm="evince-previewe" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

The files open fine, so this seems to just be a bit of noise.

Committed the fix to r101 in bzr. This doesn't seem important enough to warrant a separate upload, so leaving as 'Fix Committed'.

I get a similar message to the one above when I try opening a eps file in evince. Evince starts up with a loading animation in the top right corner but the file isn't opened. The kernel (default ubuntu kernel) log message I get is posted below.

kernel: [15222.891720] type=1400 audit(1286811411.455:36): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/var/lib/ghostscript/fonts/Fontmap" pid=25822 comm="evince" requested_mask="r"
denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 upgraded from 10.04.

chef,

/var/lib/ghostscript/fonts/Fontmap should already be handled by the AppArmor profile as of 2.30.3-0ubuntu3. It seems as if the profile didn't get reloaded properly (did you reboot after upgrading?).

Please do:
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r -T -W /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince

and try again. If that does not work, can you please attach the eps file?
