Change the 'include' in the AppArmor policy to use 'include if exists' when including <uuid>.files. Note that 'if exists' is only available after AppArmor 3.0, therefore a #ifdef check must be added. When the <uuid>.files is not present, there are some failures in the AppArmor tools like the following, since they expect the file to exist when using 'include': ERROR: Include file /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-8534a409-a460-4fab-a2dd-0e1dce4ff273.files not found Signed-off-by: Georgia Garcia <georgia.garcia(a)canonical.com&gt; --- src/security/virt-aa-helper.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c b/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c index 0374581f07..402cbd9602 100644 --- a/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c +++ b/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c @@ -1564,7 +1564,12 @@ main(int argc, char **argv) /* create the profile from TEMPLATE */ if (ctl->cmd == 'c' || purged) { char *tmp = NULL; - tmp = g_strdup_printf(" #include <libvirt/%s.files>\n", ctl->uuid); +#if defined(WITH_APPARMOR_3) + const char *ifexists = "if exists "; +#else + const char *ifexists = ""; +#endif + tmp = g_strdup_printf(" #include %s<libvirt/%s.files>\n", ifexists, ctl->uuid); if (ctl->dryrun) { vah_info(profile); -- 2.34.1
