"This is an AppArmor configuration issue". I agree - as a workaround.
However this seems to recognise that AppArmor does not respect symbolic
links.

For the past 20 years I could treat symbolic links pretty much as if
they were real files/directories, in that once defined, their existence
was transparent to application and utility programs in general. Some
low-level stuff like 'find' 'ls' etc could be told to filter them in or
out, and of course that is useful. Now though I cannot do something
simple like move $HOME/PDF to another partition and simply link to it
and carry on. The added step of hacking /etc/apparmor.d/(whatever)
should ideally not be necessary.

Can apparmor be set up to respect symbolic links, or would that break
its fundamental ability/strength somehow?
