Christian is right and this is precisely why dh_apparmor intentionally does not unload the profile. Marking the apparmor task as Won't Fix since this has been discussed several times in the past (if apparmor upstream wants to revisit, we can open the bug).
The ntp package is still in a position to unload the profile if it desires, so leaving its task open, but I believe this would be a mistake and if done in Ubuntu, I would file a bug requesting the previous behavior. I don't particularly care for the openntpd kludge, but you can unload a profile that was deleted from disk with: sudo sh -c 'echo -n /usr/sbin/ntpd > /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/.remove' (note, the '-n' with echo is important). ** Changed in: apparmor (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689585 Title: ntp doesn't unload its apparmor profile on purge Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1) install ntp apt install ntp 2) confirm it has loaded its AA profile aa-status | grep ntpd 3) purge ntp apt purge ntp 4) the profile is left behind but shouldn't aa-status | grep ntpd Additional info: This was found by first install ntp then changing my mind and deciding to go with OpenNTPD. FYI, just installing openntpd while ntp is still there works because openntpd has a kludge to unload ntpd's profile but that only works if the ntp package wasn't purged before. /var/lib/dpkg/info/openntpd.preinst: if [ -f /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd ] && pathfind apparmor_parser ; then apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd fi Since a purge deletes /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd, openntpd.preinst's kludge is ineffective. In any case, having implementation B include workaround for implementation A not cleaning up after itself seems wrong and the issue should be fixed at the source IMHO. # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 # apt-cache policy ntp ntp: Installed: 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5.4 Candidate: 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5.4 Version table: *** 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5.4 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5.3 500 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/main amd64 Packages 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: ntp (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-78.99-generic 4.4.62 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-78-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue May 9 15:48:42 2017 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SourcePackage: ntp UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1689585/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
