John, I'm using Ubuntu Trusty with Utopic HWE, so my apparmor is from Trusty. I didn't install anything from backports or Utopic by hand to not mess package system and LTS state of distribution. But somehow the system does not behave like trusty.
Note that I've updated this system from 12.04 w/ Trusty HWE to 14.04 with do-release-upgrade few months ago. $ LANG=C apt-cache policy apparmor apparmor-profiles apparmor-utils apparmor: Installed: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 Candidate: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 Version table: *** 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages apparmor-profiles: Installed: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 Candidate: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 Version table: *** 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages apparmor-utils: Installed: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 Candidate: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 Version table: *** 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.1 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-lts-utopic in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425398 Title: Apparmor uses rsyslogd profile for different processes - utopic HWE Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi.
