Comment 1 for bug 1453088

Hi Simon. Sorry for the difficulty you encountered. The specific traceback issue you encountered with aa-complain has been addressed in trusty in apparmor-utils and python3-apparmor 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.2, so I'm closing this bug (it was also fixed upstream in the 2.9.2 and 2.10 releases).

Yes, the use of c-style #include and shell style # prefix for comments is a bit confusing. AppArmor 2.10 which will be in ubuntu 15.10 includes support for just using the keyword 'include' instead of "#include' (though the latter will still work).

The "dhcpd.d" include is assuming the base path to look for included files and directories is /etc/apparmor.d/. In this case, the include references the directory /etc/apparmor.d/dhcpd.d/ which tells apparmor to include any files in that directory into the profile. However, the aa-complain tool before 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5.2 did not support including directories, which is why it crashed.

Thanks!
