Public bug reported:
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.
