Both, apparmor-profiles-extra and apparmor-profile-pidgin ship the pidgin profile. That conflicts.
Especially problematic, because apparmor-profiles-whonix depends on apparmor-profile-pidgin.
Is the pidgin profile from apparmor-profiles-extra okay? Do we recommend to install it?
What do we do with the apparmor-profile-pidgin package? Deprecate it? Or solve that conflict by using config-package-dev displace (I can add this if useful)? (fixed)
