Bug Description
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.
