[apparmor] [PATCH] Profile unload fails on profile names with spaces

[Christian Boltz]

Hello,

long time ago I reported 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510740

It was fixed in openSUSE 11.2 with an update, but obviously nobody 
pushed the patch upstream, and therefore the bug is back in 11.3 and 
even in the 2.5.1 packages in the security:apparmor buildservice repo.

Short summary: Unloading of profiles with a space in the name fails, 
therefore "rcapparmor stop" (or restart) causes a funny message - and 
the profile is still loaded.

You might want to read the bugreport (including comments 2 and 3) for 
all the details - I learned a lot about bash's space handling of the 
read command and what "echo: write error: No such file or directory" 
(that's the exact error message) can mean besides the obvious meaning 
while debugging this.

If you are on a hurry, just apply the attached patch to the file that is 
installed as /lib/apparmor/rc.apparmor.functions.


Regards,

Christian Boltz
