Unexpected Errorr running aa-genprof

It looks like you started aa-genprof as user, which isn't supported. I admit the error message should be more helpful ;-)

Can you please try again as root?

Well, I really thought I had tried that. I'm sorry about wasting your time. That did work. Thank you for the quick response.

I will try to me more through in the future.

Thanks, Christian.
