Comment 5 for bug 446449

SRU Nomination:

Impact: AppArmor user-space tool to generate new profiles does not work as expected. The "aa-logprof" tool doesn't read in existing profiles, will ask confirmation for every log entry it finds, and will generate a broken profile.

Bug: SubDomain.pm would skip reading in profiles that were located in the cache directory, instead of skipping _files_ that were in the cache directory. Fixing this bug uncovered two parsing bugs with new profiles that were introduced in the Karmic timeline: PUxr modes and include directories.

Patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/apparmor/ubuntu-karmic/revision/1057

Reproduce instructions:

1- Generate a new profile with aa-genprof. Answer all questions, and save profile
2- Restart AppArmor
3- Run aa-logprof.
4- Expected behaviour: aa-logprof should reparse log entries and everything should already be in the saved profile.
5- Buggy behaviour: aa-logprof will ask the user to confirm modifications to the profile.

Regression potential: This patch only modifies the tools to generate new profiles. Regular users will not be affected by this change. For users who are trying to generate an AppArmor profile, the tools are currently broken as it is.
