[Bug 1010909] Re: permission denied: /usr/bin/{mktexpk, mktextfm}

 

This fix is already a few months old but still not pushed to Vivid
(which still has buggy 2.9.1).  Did the vivid update fall between the
cracks or are there no plans to fix vivid?

Title:
  permission denied: /usr/bin/{mktexpk,mktextfm}

Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [impact]

  This bug prevents viewing dvi files with evince while confined by
  apparmor.

  [steps to reproduce]

  1) install evince, ensure evince apparmor policy is enabled
  2) view a dvi with evince
  3) with the fix applied, evince should be able to display the dvi
  document and should not generate apparmor rejections in syslog

  [regression potential]

  The change in the patch for this bug is a loosening of the apparmor
  policy for the sanitized helpers of evince. The risk of an introduced
  regression is small.

  3) What is expected to happen is when one attempts to open
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-
  bin/+bug/1010909/+attachment/4282336/+files/example.dvi it does so
  successfully.

  4) What happens instead is it hangs indefinitely, as per output of running evince via a terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-bin/+bug/1010909/+attachment/4282345/+files/error.txt . This would appear to be due to apparmor as per:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-bin/+bug/1010909/+attachment/4282344/+files/kern.log

  However, attempting to disable the offending profile fails:
  sudo aa-complain /usr/bin/evince//sanitized_helper
  /usr/bin/evince//sanitized_helper does not exist, please double-check the path.
