Because 'Parole' is a part of an Universe section, it will be - probably
- not updated by Developers in Xenial/16.04 (please see rules about

Fixitman Arizona is okay.

security issues fixed in various Gimp versions and Releases - even in
14.04/Trusty, which is older than Xenial, right? Never mind. I have no
idea why there is no security update for Gimp in Xenial.

original poster by using AppArmor. Because in the past I've created a
profile for Gimp, I decided to check what will happen when `mpris2.so`
library will be blocked. And it worked!

,----[ AppArmor rule ]
| deny /usr/lib/@{multiarch}/parole-0/parole-mpris2.so mr,
`----

With above rule in use, I can play any supported file/video and as

and so on.

Thanks, best regards.
