[Bug 155640] Re: cups-pdf will not output to symlinked folder

2008-09-11 Thread David Tangye
Well that's understandable. I guess it would be an enhancement request that root ought to be able to set AppArmor to respect symbolic links. Then again, for home users, simply setting it to 'complain mode', or 'off mode' or whatever, or perhaps even removing the package is an option. Not that I l

"This is an AppArmor configuration issue". I agree - as a workaround. However this seems to recognise that AppArmor does not respect symbolic links. For the past 20 years I could treat symbolic links pretty much as if they were real files/directories, in that once defined, their existence was tran
