I was going to wait to get the Security team to answer this, but I'm going to jump in before this gets out of hand and they can add the official answer later.
The apparmor profile is meant to allow access to standard applications using default configurations. Ubuntu does not install anything by default in /usr/local/lib . You said yourself that you built a custom gcc on your system. The idea is that is someone that is able to build a custom gcc, can also add /usr/local/lib to their apparmor profile. Regular users will not need to do either. As for RealPlayer, that's the standard path for their installer, so it's included. Hopefully after the holiday, the Security team can give an official response. I suggest waiting for their response before continuing this discussion. -- firefox 3.x won't load with libraries in /usr/local/lib https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501822 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
