Perl update, paths and apparmor-libapparmor

The long anticipated perl updates have finally arrived and, while in the case of apparmor-libapparmor, there are potential temporary fixes to  the path variable, there is no clear consensus on the best method to adopt. (see here.)

Before I proceed to temporarily patch my local copy with a potentially unreliable fix, I have a slight issue I need to clear up, namely: “If I am not actively modifying, enforcing or disabling apparmor-profiles, does the path variable need an immediate fix?”

I am obviously not an expert, but I suspect the answer will largely depend on the individual ‘use-case’. So, for me:

  • I primarily use apparmor as a backend to Firejail and disable audit at boot.

  • I only occasionally modify, disable or enforce apparmor-profiles.

  • Systemctl shows Apparmor to be working as expected.

  • Tests show that the loaded apparmor profiles are behaving as expected.

I would be greatly interested in hearing your views on whether to try a temporary fix or leave it until the AUR package is patched.

Edited to clarify it is the apparmor profiles which are working as expected
