[PATCH] apparmor: Allow /usr/libexec for libxl-save-helper and pygrub

Like other distros, openSUSE Tumbleweed recently changed libexecdir from /usr/lib to /usr/libexec. Add it as an allowed path for libxl-save-helper and pygrub. Signed-off-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@suse.com> --- I considered including /usr/lib64, but I don't think any distros are installing xen libexecdir targets to /usr/lib64.

Hi Jim, ack to the intention, but I think since this should use @libexecdir@ I think. Or did anything change that this doesn't apply anymore ... in that case I beg your pardon. [1]: https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=5c8bd31c881e99261ac098e867...

Heh, I see that skipped over the xen stuff :-). I'll send a V2 later. Regards, Jim

Thinking about it more, perhaps it is best to go with this V1 patch since these are not files provided by libvirt but xen, where conceivably libvirt and xen could be built with different libexecdir? IMO it would be best to explicitly list the known paths distros have used for libxl-save-helper and pygrub. Regards, Jim

It is entirely possible that one has not been updated yet, or someone is mixing packages, so this patch makes sense over having it assume a specific path. -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth!

You are right, and in >99% of the cases it will be one of the two paths you have in your rule anyway. Sorry for the detour Jim Reviewed-by: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>
