I believe I'm having this bug or a similar one in 12.04
Here are lines from my syslog
May 17 13:56:11 escher kernel: [ 27.220217] type=1400
audit(1400352971.120:42): apparmor=DENIED operation=open parent=1

Hello - I sat down to fix this bug in Trusty, but it is already fixed.
Here's my reasoning:
* Starting in Trusty, /usr/share/samba/{low,up}case.dat was moved to
/usr/share/samba/codepages/{low,up}case.dat
* The ntpd profile has #include abstractions/nameservice
* The nameservice abstraction has
FWIW, the upstream apparmor commit that fixed this is r2382

Title:
ntp apparmor denied read of /usr/share/samba/upcase.dat
To
Thanks. This is a similiar but different issue to bug 1264548. The
general issue is that custom nss changes require manual tweaking of
apparmor profiles for those that import abstractions/nameservice.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I'm confused as to why ntpd would try to access
/usr/share/samba/{up,low}case.dat in the first place. Are you using
winbind or something like that? Please could you attach
/etc/nsswitch.conf and post the versions
