After upgrading from Tumbleweed 20180308 to Tumbleweed 20180331 today, the Dovecot service now refuses to start. The error message is "Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied". I tried twiddling the permissions on that file, but no luck. On account of Bug 1069470 and a similar problem report at <https://serverfault.com/questions/903204/dovecot-cant-open-log-after-upgrade> I suspect this may be a problem with AppArmor.
