Bug Description

Binary package hint: apparmor-profiles

usr/bin/man profile in ...doc...extra dir. in apparmor-profiles package is almost empty, so quite unusable, i think.

also in that extra directory paths to directories seems to be with old apparmor syntax, there is difference in trailing slash meaning, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to report this. Sadly, no one has taken the time to update the man profile(s). The actual profile contents are contained in the usr.lib.man-db.man profile. It would be great if someone could take the time to develop and update these profiles.

The apparmor-profiles binary package is built from the apparmor source package, which is why the ubuntu-bug apparmor-profiles filed it that way.

/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.man Edit (1.6 KiB, application/x-troff-man)

usr.bin.man :
i have tried to comment out "nameservice":
# #include <abstractions/nameservice>
because it allows to connect to internet, i have not used man so, and had not known that it is possible, seems it works...
and i added 5 rules.

(i do not know how to modify exactly header with license and suse copyright notice and names of who made the profile.)

Is it perhaps relevant that /usr/bin/man used to be a symlink to /usr/lib/man-db/man for historical reasons, but since man-db 2.5.6-1 the symlink has been the other way round?

man does not currently need to connect to the Internet for anything, although there is an outstanding feature request (bug 270984) which would involve it doing so.
