[apparmor] [Bug 1180230] Re: glob in aa-genprof repeats same option

[Seth Arnold]

I've checked this into trunk. I'm not sure about checking it into 2.8
though, since it introduces a requirement for Perl >= 5.10.1 via the ~~
operator: http://stackoverflow.com/a/3095066/377270

Title:
  glob in aa-genprof repeats same option

Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When using glob, the glob does not check if the entries mentioned
  previously is repeated or not. Using a simple check to match against
  the previous entry will solve this and prevent such long pointless
  lists.

  I'm assuming this is a problem with the AppArmor library based in Perl. I'm trying to work a way to fix it.
  (BTW, my first bug report ever.)
