Bug Description

Installing the akonadi-server package causes apparmor policy loading to report a failure when reloading policy, due to a repeated variable declaration in the mysql-akonadi apparmor policy.

After an update from Hardy 8.04.1 to Intrepid Alpha 2008-09-17:

MySQL server did not startup any more. I had apparmor installed and had no problems till dist upgrade:

Version:

Architecture: i386
Version: 2.3+1289-0ubuntu3
Replaces: apparmor-parser
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.8~20080505), upstart-compat-sysv (>= 0.3.9-6) | sysvinit (>= 2.86.ds1-56ubuntu3)
Suggests: apparmor-profiles, apparmor-docs
Filename: pool/main/a/apparmor/apparmor_2.3+1289-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Error message:

Expectation:

MySQL server should start

What happened:

It did not start

/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld-akonadi is shipped by akonadi-server. Reassigning to that package.

I am also seeing a problem related to this however it does not seem to be affecting MySQL for me. Reloading AppArmor generates this error.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload

So far as I can tell this is not affecting AppArmor's ability to run but it is certainly preventing it from "protecting" akonadi-server as it should.

I have the same error.

This error is because the mysql-akonadi profile contains both a definition for the @{HOME} variable directly and the inclusion of tunables/global, which in turn includes tunables/home where @{HOME} is also defined. Once defined in apparmor policy, a variable cannot be redefined, though it can be extended e.g. "@{HOME} += /some/other/path/" is valid. Given that both definitions are the same, the mysql-akonadi profile just honor the setting defined in tunables/home since a system administrator would edit that location first if they were to use alternate locations for home directories.

Attached is a debdiff that fixes the issue.
