** Description changed:
When upstream D-Bus merged the AppArmor mediation patches, they did not
like the GetConnectionAppArmorSecurityContext() bus method. Instead,
they decided to expose a peer's AppArmor context using the
org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionCredentials() bus method. All users of
the GetConnectionAppArmorSecurityContext() method should switch to the
GetConnectionCredentials() method as soon as possible so that Ubuntu can
drop the patch that implements GetConnectionAppArmorSecurityContext()
by the time 16.04 LTS is released.
In order to switch to the new method, you'll need to depend on
libapparmor 2.10 or newer.
I'll be adding example code that illustrates how to switch from
GetConnectionAppArmorSecurityContext() to GetConnectionCredentials().
+
+ content-hub, media-hub, mediascanner2, signon-apparmor-extension,
+ ubuntu-download-manager, and ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts all
+ need to transition to the new method of obtaining the AppArmor label.
+
+ The apparmor package should be updated to drop the libapparmor-mention-
+ dbus-method-in-getcon-man.patch patch and the dbus package should be
+ updated to drop the aa-get-connection-apparmor-security-context.patch
+ patch.
