Public bug reported:
Looks like there's a new mbsync profile but that profile doesn't work if
the ~/.mbsyncrc file is a symlink to another file in another directory
(in my case ~/dotfiles/mbsync/.mbsyncrc).
The error I get is:
$ mbsync -a
Cannot open config file '/home/tom/.mbsyncrc': Permission denied
Journal says:
Feb 20 08:54:10 paprika kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1740038050.037:1045):
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" class="file" profile="mbsync"
name="/home/tom/dotfiles/isync/.mbsyncrc" pid=32187 comm="mbsync"
requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
because the file is a symlink:
$ ls -al ~/.mbsyncrc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tom tom 24 Jul 18 2024 /home/tom/.mbsyncrc ->
dotfiles/isync/.mbsyncrc
I'm using stow as a symlink manager to handle my dotfiles. I don't think
this is a very exotic setup.
