[solved] Gwenview doesn't start anymore

As of late when starting Gwenview I'm getting the following error message:

/usr/bin/gwenview: error while loading shared libraries: libKF5ItemModels.so.5: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

ls -l /usr/lib/libKF5ItemModels.so.* gives:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     26  3. Mai 11:45 /usr/lib/libKF5ItemModels.so.5 -> libKF5ItemModels.so.5.70.0*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 288528  3. Mai 11:45 /usr/lib/libKF5ItemModels.so.5.70.0*

The problem seems to be caused by one of the recent updates of plasma-framework.

Is anybody else affected?

That library comes from kitemmodels .

Output of

$ pacman -Qkk kitemmodels gwenview

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [solved] Gwenview doesn't start anymore

Guys, thanks for your help! The culprit is obviously AppArmor.

Let me explain: When that problem came up I set my AppArmor profile for Okular to complain mode which shouldn't block anything. And aa-logprof oddly enough didn't show anything, either. I still don't know why - however, after disabling the profile gwenview starts again as it should. Now I have to find out why AA caused that mess (and didn't reveal why).

Marking that issue as solved.
