Bug Description

With the new bionic upload, when the apparmor profile is enabled, rsyslog fails to start (and causes upgrade issues) due to:

AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_mmap" profile="/usr/sbin/rsyslogd" name="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog/lmnet.so" pid=19949 comm="rsyslogd" requested_mask="m" denied_mask="m" fsuid=0 ouid=0

The profile has this rule:

  /usr/lib{,32,64}/rsyslog/*.so mr,

but the new upload puts modules in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog so this rule should be adjusted to:

  /usr/lib{,32,64}/{,@{multiarch}/}rsyslog/*.so mr,

Fixing that reveals this denial:

AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="/usr/sbin/rsyslogd" name="/run/rsyslogd.pid.tmp" pid=2741 comm="rsyslogd" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=0 ouid=0

So we need to adjust this:

  /{,var/}run/rsyslogd.pid rwk,

to be:

  /{,var/}run/rsyslogd.pid{,.tmp} rwk,
