<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am running Linux Mint 21.3 with the Cinnamon desktop environment - <a href="https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=311">https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=311</a></p>
<p>An update to Apparmor came across the Linux Mint 21.3 Update Manager today, updating the package from old version "3.0.4-2ubuntu2.3build2" to new version "3.0.4-2ubuntu2.4" but the new version was dated "Tue, 06 Mar 2024" in the changelog that lists <a href="mailto:rodrigo.zaiden@canonical.com">rodrigo.zaiden@canonical.com</a> as the maintainer.</p>
<p>Here is a screenshot of how that update looks in the Linux Mint 21.3 Update Manager - <a href="https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/5b207dca03d3">https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/5b207dca03d3</a> (expires in 1 week)</p>
<p>Why would this significant security & package update take 6 months to be pushed through to my machine?</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Other resources I browsed while discussing this issue on the Linux Mint IRC - <a href="https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man7/apparmor.7.html">https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man7/apparmor.7.html</a> & <a href="https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/apparmor">https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/apparmor</a> & <a href="https://apparmor.net/">https://apparmor.net/</a></p>
