I'm sorry this failed you. Our Perl-based utilities were more fragile than the new Python replacements. Because they were in Perl, fixing even minor issues required significant time investments and new features were outright impossible. Perl programs of this size require someone to keep the whole thing in their head constantly, and none of us could do that. The Python versions of the utilities need work, there's no denying that, but because they are written in Python the barrier to entry is significantly lower for us and newcomers alike. (One of our goals is to change the Python tools to be more Pythonic and be less Perlic. Once they're more 'normal' we'll be able to find and fix bugs faster and add new features more reliably.) We ran our new tools through extensive testing before deciding to ship them with Ubuntu 14.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1298611 We didn't have your profile in the tests, obviously. We can fix that. Thanks
