Comment 9 for bug 874671

Ok, here's what I did.

I adapted the instructions from this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-mission-control-5/+bug/816554/comments/4

adding "owner /var/jay/.local/share/telepathy*/ rw," and the like to my /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.telepathy file, then running:

sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.telepathy

Empathy is now successfully saving logs, even though @{HOME}/.local/share/telepathy*/ is a symlink to /var/jay/.local/share/telepathy*/

Is it the symlinking that is causing this problem? I assume that it is. Why does apparmor balk at this symlink?
