Bug Description

While trying to save an open PDF from evince, I clicked on the "create folder" button in the save dialog. Apparmor prevented directory creation in the respective directory. Saving within my "home" directory works.

I consider this a bug. In my case, all user data resides in a separate data partition. With the current apparmor profiles, saving to this partition is hindered.

Syslog contains:

Mar 7 10:29:33 xxx kernel: [ 4569.159240] audit: type=1400 audit(1520414973.202:39): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mkdir" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="xxxxx" pid=5393 comm="evince" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000

More generally, this seems to apply to a whole set of apparmor profiles that were updated or added recently...

Thank you for your bug report. Is that still an issue? Do you use a special location for your user directory(or remote one)?
