Title:
  Can't print DVIs from evince on Ubuntu 10.04 due to bad AppArmor
  configuration

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Trying to print any DVI from evince fails.  From the GUI, it looks
  like it succeeds, albeit somewhat more quickly than normal, but on the
  console I get this message:

  ** (evince:21642): WARNING **: Error: Failed to execute child process
  "dvipdfm" (Permission denied)

  On this machine, dvipdfm is just a symlink to dvipdfmx, but the
  apparmor configuration only whitelists dvipdfm itself, and therefore
  blocks the exec.  Whitelisting dvipdfmx in
  /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince made the error go away, and made
  printing succeed.  You might want to do so in the distribution-
  supplied configuration file.
