Interesting news - I'm able to reproduce this now. The trick is to create a new profile:
rm /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.true aa-genprof true press "s" I added the print command I proposed, and it fails at the newly created profile - print output: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.true /usr/bin/true /usr/bin/true The autodep code fills "filename" with a wrong structure with a level missing. For comparison see the (heavily formatted) output of print(filelist) '/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.true': defaultdict ( <function hasher at 0x7f32630b8d08>, {'profiles': defaultdict ( <function hasher at 0x7f32630b8d08>, {'/usr/bin/true': True} ), 'include': defaultdict ( <function hasher at 0x7f32630b8d08>, {'tunables/global': True} )} ), '/etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.dovecot.dict': defaultdict ( <function hasher at 0x7f32630b8d08>, {'profiles': defaultdict ( <function hasher at 0x7f32630b8d08>, {'/usr/lib/dovecot/dict': defaultdict ( <function hasher at 0x7f32630b8d08>, {'/usr/lib/dovecot/dict': True} )} ), 'include': defaultdict ( <function hasher at 0x7f32630b8d08>, {'tunables/global': True} )} ), (we really need to document the internal structure of our more interesting[tm] variables ;-) Now that we know what is wrong, fixing it (in aa.py / autodep) is easy - even at 3 am ;-) Can you please test the following patch? === modified file 'utils/apparmor/aa.py' --- utils/apparmor/aa.py 2014-04-26 11:05:55 +0000 +++ utils/apparmor/aa.py 2014-05-19 00:51:04 +0000 @@ -583,7 +583,8 @@ if not filelist.get(file, False): filelist[file] = hasher() filelist[file]['include']['tunables/global'] = True - filelist[file]['profiles'][pname] = True + filelist[file]['profiles'][pname] = hasher() + filelist[file]['profiles'][pname][pname] = True write_profile_ui_feedback(pname) def get_profile_flags(filename, program): Funnily I added the line to blame myself - but without it, autodep was even more buggy ;-) (bzr log -r2396 if you are interested in details) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319829 Title: aa-genprof will crash when select scan on Ubuntu 14.04 server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1319829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
