Title:
Remove wrong dependency on initramfs-tools
Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apparmor source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
In xenial and earlier, apparmor depends on initramfs-tools. In zesty and
later, this dependency has been dropped, as explained in the Debian changelog
for 2.9.0-3+exp1 and merged into Ubuntu in 2.10.95-4ubuntu1:
* Drop dependency from apparmor on initramfs-tools: the early modules
loading code that needed it was removed a while ago (Closes: #771240).
This is a wrong dependency in xenial as well, which also includes no
early boot code. We should drop this dependency, to support building
of images with initramfs-tools removed for systems that we know don't
require an initramfs.
[Test case]
1. On a xenial default chroot/container install, try to run 'sudo apt purge
initramfs-tools'.
2. Verify that this tries to remove apparmor.
3. Cancel the removal.
4. Install apparmor from xenial-proposed.
5. Run 'sudo apt purge initramfs-tools' again.
6. Verify that apparmor is not removed.
[Regression Potential]
If apparmor were somehow using initramfs-tools without it being obvious from
the package contents, then removing initramfs-tools from the dependencies could
in some rare corner cases cause misbehavior of the system. However, there are
currently no Ubuntu images or stock system installs which do not pull in
initramfs-tools by other paths (e.g. by way of the kernel packages) so this
risk is minimal.
