Public bug reported:

On a fully up to date xubuntu 20-04 system, when i run evince and click
on a link, it fails to follow that link in my browser. This kind of
thing happens when you are reading a technical paper and want to follow
one of the references and click on the doi or url.

When i click on the link i get a box that i cannot copy from that says:
Failed to launch preferred application for category "WebBrowser".

Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo-2
/exo-helper-2"(Permission denied).

Did I say that it is annoying that i could not copy the text in this
box!!!!!!

The output of the ldd command you asked for is attached.

I should also point out that this worked fine under xubuntu 18.04.

I had originally posted this as an additional comment on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1869159?comments=all
but https://launchpad.net/~seb128 said that I should submit this as a
separate bug because this is likely an apparmor configuration problem
that is similar to the ancient bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987578.
