The Debian-shipped passt AppArmor profile (/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.passt)
denies the accesses pasta needs to plumb rootlesskit's netns:
- ptrace_read on the rootlesskit child to enter its user namespace
- read /run/user/<uid>/dockerd-rootless/netns (the netns file)
- read /proc/<pid>/net/{tcp,tcp6,udp,udp6} for implicit port forwarding
Without these the rootless docker daemon fails with:
pasta failed with exit code 1:
Couldn't open user namespace /proc/<pid>/ns/user: Permission denied
scripts/docker/install/rootless/rootless_apparmor.sh:
New installRootlessApparmorForPasta() — idempotent fixup.
1. Adds `include if exists <local/usr.bin.passt>` to the main profile
(one line; re-adding is a no-op via grep).
2. Writes /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.passt with the four rules
pasta needs. The /local/ pattern is the standard Debian AppArmor
hook for site-managed overrides — survives `apt upgrade passt`
because it's outside the package's managed paths.
3. Reloads via apparmor_parser -r.
Called from installDockerRootless after the override.conf write, gated
on $rootless_net == pasta. slirp4netns installs skip it.
This box was already manually patched while debugging the pasta swap —
the installer-side change makes it idempotent across reinstalls and
applies the same fix on any other host that installs rootless docker
with pasta as the net driver.
