Public bug reported:
The apparmor 2.10-0ubuntu1 package did not migrate from wily-proposed
due to the content-hub autopkgtests failing. This turned out to be due
to the dh_apparmor postinst snippet failing to load the content-hub test
apparmor profiles because aa-status failed to run due to
python3-apparmor not being installed. The dependency was added in the
apparmor 2.10 cycle due to wanting to get fancier tracebacks that
contain more diagnostic information when errors occur. In a minimal
ubuntu environment, python-utils and python3-apparmor are not installed
by default (which is also why aa-status is included in the main apparmor
package).
There are a couple of possible short term solutions to this:
1) make the apparmor package depend on python3-apparmor
2) make aa-status function even when python3-apparmor isn't installed, either
by reverting the added import entirely, or catching the exception and
continuing even when it fails.
Long term, aa-status could be re-written (again), this time in C to help
minimal environments become even more minimal by getting rid of the
dependency on python.
