[pkg-apparmor] Bug#870696: diff: /var/lib/apparmor/profiles/.apparmor.md5sums: No such file or directory

[Michael Biebl]

Package: apparmor
Version: 2.11.0-6+b2
Severity: minor

When installing the apparmor package on a newly created system, the
following warning is generated in postinst:

Setting up apparmor (2.11.0-6+b2) ...
diff: /var/lib/apparmor/profiles/.apparmor.md5sums: No such file or
directory

It's not clear whether this warning is something to be worried about.
Ideally the file is created before the relevant code is run or the code
is made conditional on the existence of the file.
