Hello, AppArmor rules are in most cases declarative so that the order doesn't matter (exception: before you can extend a variable with "+=" you have to initialize it with "=").
The current definition is technically not a bug, "just" confusing.
However, I agree that defining @{HOMEDIRS} before using it would make
sense to make it less confusing for human parsers ;-)
I submitted a patch for re-ordering the variable definition upstream:
https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/merge_requests/820
Since the change is more cosmetic, it will probably only be included in
AppArmor 3.1 and newer. I don't expect to get it backported to the 3.0
or 2.x branches.
Regards,
Christian Boltz
