Bravo. This is an issue for new users, btw, because the rather well written "Introduction to Apparmor" by Bodhi.Zazen on Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008906) uses Genprof at the crucial point where its tutorial teaches you how to build a profile. And it makes a special point of doing this for Firefox, which is arguably the main reason why any desktop user would seek to configure Apparmor when they learned of its existence. So Bodhi.Zazen's tutorial goes kaput just at the point where you are beginning to feel you are making real progress toward securing your machine. (It's seven year's old anyway, yet prominent in the search engines and a big draw because it's a reasonably good tutorial - a rare thing).
If users understood that Apparmor's out-of-the-box profiles should give reasonable-enough protection (they should, shouldn't they? they do, don't they?), they might get a night's sleep. Or perhaps after a user learns from Bodhi.Zazen that they need to install Apparmor's package of pre-baked profiles separately (this is necessary, isn't it?), it might dawn on them that this really is protection enough to give them a night's sleep (it is, isn't it?). But the case is not clear. And the Firefox profile is disabled by default. So that brings you back to Bodhi.Zazen's kaput tutorial and the Apparmor bug.

[steps to reproduce] See below [regression potential] This issue is being addressed by updating the python utilities to the version in apparmor 2.9.2 as tracked in bug 1449769. This represents are large change which would normally be risky; however, these changes are isolated to the python utils (so no changes to the policy parser/loader or enforcement), there are a large number of bugs that exist in the trusty version that make using the tools difficult, so it would be difficult to regress further, and the updated version includes many new unit tests to try to prevent from regressions from occurring. [additional info] The python utils testsuite is run as part of the test-apparmor.py test script in lp:qa-regression-testing. The test-apparmor.py also has additional basic usage tests to ensure that basic functionality is maintained. These tests are run as part of the process fro each kernel update. [original description] Operating system : Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64 server Command used : sudo aa-genprof suricata I will be asked to scan or finish, I selected "scan". Then it crashes.
