Package: papers
Version: 49.2-3
Severity: important

I read that papers is a better evince, but when I tried to open a PDF
with it like this:

    [wohler at olgas books (olgas:*%)]$ papers Astronomy-OP.pdf 

I didn't see the PDF that I expected to see. The command just
appeared to hang until I hit C-c.

Instead, I got a dozen of these in the log:

    Dec 23 20:10:13 olgas kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1766549413.036:607): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" class="file" profile="/usr/bin/papers" name="/proc/58494/cmdline" pid=58494 comm="papers" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
