No module named apparmor. Why?

Question

Context : I installed (manually) the apparmor-utils and apparmor-profiles and apparmor-utils, since when trying

apt-get install apparmor-utils apparmor-profiles

can't find the packages.

aa-status

works as usual. I also did

sed -i -e 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="/&security=apparmor /' /etc/default/grub

to enable it. However when I try

aa-genprof

it says:

import apparmor.aa as apparmor ... No module named apparmor

What is the problem if I already installed it?

Please edit your question and add more details. Which version of Debian do you use? From where did you get the packages you installed manually and which version exactly did you install? Did you run apt-get update before apt-get install ...? — Bodo

I think you are missing apparmor package which will provide that python module:

sudo apt install python3-apparmor

If you can’t install that, you need to fix your repository configuration; you will then also be able to install the Debian AppArmor packages.

Solved! It was a problem with the repositories. I had enabled some that weren't able to find those packages. Once I changed them, it worked.
