Title:
  Unable to exec: Permission denied while starting applications

Status in Upstart Application Launcher:
  New
Status in “upstart-app-launch” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Please note that it's not entirely clear if this is an upstart-app-
  launch bug. It's our first lead. This bug causes random failures (very
  rarely) in security autopilot tests.

  As seen in the smoketesting results:
  http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/156:20140131:20140115.1/6364/security/719045/

  I was able to reproduce the same test failure but on random click apps when running the test on my local mako machine.
  Some logs:
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6850227/ - the DEBUG output from upstart for the failing application

  The same problem seems to cause many application autopilot tests
  failing as well - it seems that upstart-app-launch cannot lunch
  applications sometimes. Reverting upstart-app-launch and running
  autopilot test suites results in everything passing, while there are
  random failures with the latest upstart-app-launch installed.
