AppArmor:PopcornTime breaks even in Complain mode [SOLVED]

I'm trying to create an apparmor profile for PopcornTime but whenever I put PT into either complain or enforce mode it crashes when run. When I run it in terminal I get the error.

LaunchProcess: failed to execvp: 
/proc/self/exe
[18412:0808/130230:ERROR:child_process_launcher.cc(479)] 
Failed to launch child process
[20353:0808/133143:ERROR:channel.cc(305)] RawChannel read error (connection broken)

I'm using aa-logprof and I can never generate a profile that is able to surmount this faliure, even when adding even more lenient permissions by manually. I've tried giving full rights to /proc/** with no luck. The strange part is that this is happening in complain mode as well. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Use:

tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log

to monitor your audit log and run Popcorn-Time from another terminal. You'll see why it's failing.

I use the following profile for Popcorn-Time, I remember getting that same error when I created it but I don't remember what caused it.

Thanks, I had to edit the profile to make it fit with the AUR package but it worked in the end. There does seem to be a bug in AppArmor since complain mode does behave very weirdly with this app.

seem to be a bug in AppArmor

Possibly, but not necessarily. Could also be a bug in your app, e.g. a race condition or timing bug. These are bugs which can mostly remain hidden.
