Hi, sorry for chiming in so late, but I haven't seen this issue before - the last update changed that. Special chars as reported in comment #26 and comment #15 are an issue, but most of them are fixed or at a better error message now.
First of all since Ubuntu 17.10 (~=UCA-Pike) all files in generated rules are in quotes which formerly they were not - that allows for some chars like spaces. Further some other chars are just plain forbidden and would break the rule - these are mostly apparmor wilcards so these are now rejected since v3.10.0 by a150b86c instead of later failing when loading the profile. That said it is hard for me to track details of the old issue, but with a recent Ubuntu this should be all fixed. With space a rule will now look as: "/var/lib/uvtool/libvirt/images/a space does not hurt.qcow" rwk, and work just fine. But the actual issue - at least with tolerable special chars is fixed in the latter releases. And the apparmor wildcards do not randomly fail, or work or be a security issue - instead they always fail now. I have to admit the message is still the old misleading one in the remaining failing cases. I spawned bug 1767934 for this - but at low prio. Per above I'd set the bug fix releases at least for the latter releases. Given the long time this bug slumbers before a person is hit by it again and the fact that a simple file rename gets you around makes me not think of SRUs for this atm. So I'll set won't fix for pre-Artful, but hey - discussions welcome. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: High Status: Fix Released ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Artful) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: High => Medium ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384532 Title: Unable to set AppArmor profile [...] no such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1384532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
