** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ Changes to a combination of transmission-gtk and the GNOME desktop
+ environment meant that the AppArmor profile for transmission would no
+ longer allow transmission-gtk to open the file selection dialog.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+  * Verify using aa-status that a transmission-gtk profile is loaded
+  * Install transmission-gtk
+  * Open transmission-gtk and attempt to open the file selection dialog
+  * Close the file selection dialogue and verify that the application remains 
responsive
+  * Open the dialog again, selecting a torrent file this time
+  * Verify that transmission-gtk is able to download the torrent
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The transmission-gtk profile change in this SRU loosens confinement on a
+ profile. However, if a user manually modified the installed profiles,
+ then the package upgrade would cause conflicts, and rejection of the
+ incoming changes (either by hand during an interactive upgrade or
+ automatically during an batch unattended upgrade) would result in end
+ users not getting the packaged fix.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ This bug was fixed as part of 5.0.2-0ubuntu1 in 26.10 and is being fixed
+ in 26.04 as part of an upstream version backport.
+ 
+ ----Original bug report
+ 
  Can't open torrent folder, nor select a downloads folder.
