html file does not open from within evince (pdf-file)

[Fabri Velas]

Binary package hint: apparmor

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
Package: apparmor: 2.3.1+1403-0ubuntu27

Clicking on a html link in a pdf document from within evince leads to an error (something like: epiphany child process not allowed).
I expected epiphany-browser (my default browser) to open the html file in a new tab.

Workaround: add the following line to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-browsers
  /usr/bin/epiphany Ux,
(where also /usr/bin/epiphany-browser is already present).

SRU REQUEST

1. Users of evince are unable to launch their preferred browser, epiphany. The bug arrived when epiphany packaging changed (ie epiphany-gecko was dropped). Fix is trivial.

2. The fix is not in Lucid yet

3. The fix is to add the following to profiles/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-browsers:
  /usr/bin/epiphany Ux,

4. TEST CASE:
- install epiphany
- configure Gnome to use epiphany via System/Preferences/Preferred Applications
- open a PDF with an embedded link (eg http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol/qa-regression-testing/master/files/head%3A/data/test_hyperlink.pdf)

5. The regression potential is very low. We only allow access to files that we didn't previously have access to.

Accepted apparmor into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Thank you, using apparmor in karmic-proposed gives the desired results.
