[pkg-apparmor] Bug#1121917: apparmor: Kernel version out of sync / doesn't conform to protocol

Package: apparmor
Version: 4.1.0-1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: cw at aon.at

Dear Maintainer,

recently, some profiles (not all) fail to load because they don't "confirm to
protocol". Happens both during boot and on manual reload. Couldn't reliably
track down specific lines of these files that might cause it.

The upstream FAQ suggests that the userland tools might've been build against
kernel headers that are newer than the kernel. This is a sid machine however,
currently 6.17.9-deb14, so probably(?) not the issue.

The version of apparmor_parser that is currently in Debian-stable shows the
same problem.

I'm not sure what kind of other info I can provide currently

Thank you
