Title:
  Faulty/useless apparmor profile

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  evince comes with apparmor profiles.

  
  1) The profiles are incomplete/outdated. Kernel keeps complaining because evince tries to read from udev which has been moved to /run/udev by some ubuntu berserks: 

  Dec  5 16:10:19 sodom kernel: [24711.331270] type=1400
  audit(1323097819.959:148): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
  parent=22723 profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/run/udev/data/b253:6"
  pid=23251 comm="evince" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000
  ouid=0

  
  2) The profiles are mostly useless because the open almost everything for read/write anyway, e.g. 

    @{HOME}/** rw,

  
  What's the point in having a apparmor profile if it opens all doors? The idea of apparmor is to restrict particular access, not to open everything to make it run like without an apparmor profile. 

  BTW, the file design is poor. The master profile should contain only
  what evince needs to run (like /usr/lib... and such things) and not
  intermix with the files to read or write for working. These options
  should be put into a separate file to allow the admin to modify it to
  local needs without breaking the upgrade process for the main part of
  the profile.
