aa-status is part of the apparmor package aa-disabled is part of the apparmor-utils package
the package split is done to reduce the install foot print to a minimum for base installs, iso images etc. The failure of the apparmor_parser -R is odd, perhaps the profile had been already removed by a previous action? Profiles exist in two places on the system, their text representation stored in the filesystem in userspace and their binary representation in that is loaded into the kernel, either during boot or package install, etc. You can find out your loaded set of profiles via the aa-status command (root privs required), or by directly poking the lower level interface. Either using a simplied file based view cat /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/profiles or a slightly more detail directory based view ls /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/policy/profiles/ Generally I would agree that you shouldn't disable apparmor, however I am a pragmatist and believe security is useless if it prevents you from doing the work you need to get done. I am going to add a task for cups and see if the those more familiar with cups have any ideas. best of luck on your roll back. ** Also affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251973 Title: Printing denied since upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1251973/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
