Public bug reported:

Many repetitions of

audit: type=1400 audit(1585517168.705:63): apparmor="DENIED"
operation="open" profile="/usr/sbin/chronyd" name="/etc/mdns.allow"
pid=1983815 comm="chronyd" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=123
ouid=0

in log.  I use libnss-mdns for .local name resolution, so
/etc/nsswitch.conf contains

hosts:          files mdns [NOTFOUND=return] myhostname dns

and /etc/mnds.allow contains the domains to resolve with mDNS (in may
case, "local." and "local"; see /usr/share/doc/libnss-mdns/README.html.)

Presumably cronyd calls a gethostbyX() somewhere, thus eventually
trickling down through the name service switch and opening
/etc/mdns.allow, which the AppArmor profile in the chrony package does
not allow.
