Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
Evince can't open compressed PDFs because apparmor doesn't let it execute bzip2.
[172782.885301] type=1503 audit(125788529
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a compressed PDF (e.g. http://
2. Double-click on it in nautilus
3. Evince starts and complains about not being able do execute bzip2 (permission denied)
Nautilus also doesn't provide an option to extract the file, so most users probably can't open those files unless they know how to do it manually.

Thank you for using Ubuntu and taking the time to report a bug. Can you add this to /etc/apparmor. d/abstractions/ evince:
/bin/bzip2 ixr,
then perform: d/usr.bin. evince
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r -T -W /etc/apparmor.
and report back if it fixes the problem for you?
