Bug Description
[Impact]
Confusing output from a diff command executed during the apparmor update process leaves users concerned about the state of their system.
[Test Case]
1. Make sure that apparmor 2.10.95-0ubuntu2 from the -release pocket is installed
2. Update to the apparmor package in -proposed
3. Look at the output during the update process to verify that the following message is *not* printed:
Files /var/lib/
[Regression Potential]
Considered to be extremely low. The change is a one-liner that pipes the stdout of diff command to /dev/null (the -q option of diff is not sufficient).
[Original description]
Upon applying the latest Ubuntu routine-update, I observed these messages:
Setting up apparmor (2.10.95-
Installing new version of config file /etc/apparmor.
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.
Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.
Files /var/lib/
"The reason why I am filing a bug report" is the LAST line. I presume that if md5sums do not agree, something was probably done improperly in preparing this particular software-update blast.
However, in-passing, I would also point out line #3, about "start and stop actions no longer supported." That seems to me to be something (of much less importance, obviously) that might have been overlooked. (I've seen =that= message for some time now.)

Agree with OP on both points, but also note that when I check the two supposedly different files afterwards they are in fact identical except for timestamp:
$ sudo diff /var/lib/
