Title: evince-thumbnailer can't run mktexpk Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: On Ubuntu 12.04, when running /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer on a .dvi file that references a font for which there is no PK file on the system yet, AppArmor blocks the execution of /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam etc. Here are sample audit log messages: [ 5720.378549] type=1400 audit(1379921624.784:28): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" parent=6181 profile="/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer//sanitized_helper" name="/usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam" pid=6204 comm="mktexpk" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 [ 5720.384833] type=1400 audit(1379921624.788:29): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" parent=6181 profile="/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer//sanitized_helper" name="/usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexupd" pid=6209 comm="mktexpk" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 I suspect this is because the sanitized_helper profile in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-helpers only covers /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, not /usr/share/texmf/web2c . I'm not sure whether this bug should be filed against apparmor, evince or texlive-binaries; I can think of at least three ways of addressing the issue: 1) add "/usr/share/texmf/web2c/* Pixr" to the sanitized_helper profile; 2) modify the profile for /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer to use something other than sanitized_helper; 3) provide a separate AppArmor profile for the /usr/bin/mktexpk wrapper (and its siblings).
