I have seen that too: not AppArmor, not SELinux, but some "security" feature of systemd, mounting (bind-mount?) things like /etc read only: in that case, the error message /is/ actually correct. No systemd here, so I can't check. No idea either whether those mounts are "just" for services like the web server or more widespread. Cheers -- t
