[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1454463] Re: CUPS not allowed to mknod to /var/log by apparmor

Thanks, that was it. Apologies for this turning out to be a 'support' question, not a bug. I was so sure. I'm not used to symlinks breaking things in unix, so I didn't even suspect my moving of /var was a problem. My / is an SSD so I don't want logs writing to it. /data is a HDD. Thanks
